Changes

I was surprised by last week's reaction to Hugo Chavez's speech at the United Nations. From whom did I expect the harshest criticism of the Venezuelan leader, from which end of the political spectrum? Both Jon Stewart and Bill Maher revealed the limits of acceptable political debate in the liberal media. For them the joke is no longer funny when our President is equated with the Devil.  Democrat Charles Rangel stated that he "resent[s] the fact that [Chavez] would come to the United States and criticize President Bush... If there's any criticism of President Bush, it should be restricted to Americans, whether they voted for him or not."Right-o.
