Chavez is at it again..

Hugo Chavez is now threatening Spain with drastic economic action is Spain's King Juan Carlos does not apologize to Chavez for telling him to "shut up". I think this is moderately ridiculous and maybe a good example of the personalism in Latin American politics. Spain has a lot invested in Venezuela and Chavez seems to be making this about him as opposed to his country. This article also mentions some Chavez's other extreme antics, such as his proposal to eliminate term limits in Venezuela. http://ca.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=topNews&storyID=2007-11-14T214152Z_01_N14217075_RTRIDST_0_NEWS-VENEZUELA-SPAIN-CHAVEZ-COL.XML&archived=False
