Is there a Satan Corollary to Godwin's law?

"The devil came here yesterday," Chavez said, referring to Bush, who addressed the world body during its annual meeting Tuesday. "And it smells of sulfur still today."

Say what one will about Chavez - that sulfur line is one of the best turns of phrase I've heard come out of a politician's mouth in some time.

Damn; I knew he called him a "devil," but the sulphur line is practically poetic. Damn.

Which is why, despite my opinion that he is less revolutionary and more old fashioned caudillo, that I spotlight his quotes all the time.

i saw the footage of his comments on daily show last night, and it wasn't just the sulphur line (which i agree is brilliant) but the whole smirking delivery. i don't know what caudillo means, but i do know he looked like a man who knew exactly what he was doing -- he really drew it out for effect and hit his mark perfectly.
