It’s the end of the year …

John Hawkins has his list of what he feels are the 40 most obnoxious quotes of 2006. He’s got some good ones, and a few I haven’t heard before. One that I think is missing, though, is Hugo Chavez’s “diablo” remarks about the President while at the UN back in September (via Newsmax):

“The devil is right at home. The devil, the devil himself, is right in the house. And the devil came here yesterday. Yesterday the devil came here. Right here.” [crosses himself] “And it smells of sulfur still today. Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, from this rostrum, the president of the United States, the gentleman to whom I refer as the devil, came here, talking as if he owned the world. Truly. As the owner of the world. I think we could call a psychiatrist to analyze yesterday’s statement made by the president of the United States. As the spokesman of imperialism, he came to share his nostrums, to try to preserve the current pattern of domination, exploitation and pillage of the peoples of the world. An Alfred Hitchcock movie could use it as a scenario. I would even propose a title: “The Devil’s Recipe.””
