MSLBs get in a tizzy about Hugo Chavez

Washington Monthly was the first blog I saw to rip Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez a new one ocver his comments about Barack Obama.

But, Steve Benen misses picking up on a few things.

First, and the preliminary point, many bloggers don't talk about a "bipartisan foreign policy establishment" just for their health. And neither did Chavez.

Second, while the assassination of Obama rhetoric is high, Chavez certainly might continue to fear that himself.

Third, let's not forget that his relations with the U.S. started going downhill during the Clinton Administration. I'm not saying whose fault that is, just making an observation.
