The Enemy Of Our Enemy...?

There is a big controversy in the news about Joe Kennedy's relationship with Hugo Chavez, 'dictator' of Venezuela. Former politician Joe Kennedy now runs Citizen's Energy, (or a similar name), which is renowned in New England for providing affordable fuel oil to Massachusetts residents who would otherwise be out in the cold. This discounted oil comes mostly from Venezuela. If you haven't been following the news: A few months ago Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez fanned controversy by referring to George W. Bush as "the Devil". While I despise Bush and everything he stands for I wouldn't call him a devil. Dick Cheney and Karl Rove, among other conservative and neo-conservative con-artists are arguably worse than the Devil with their straight-faced lies and propaganda spewed by their allies in the right-wing media. But I digress. It is a sad state of affairs when a dictator cares more about the plight of our poorest citizens than the so-called Leader Of The Free World and his buddies in the Petroleum Industry. Chevron, owned by Venezuela helps our poor and cold citizens while the Bush Administration, many members of Congress and domestic oil companies would let our poorest freeze and perhaps starve to death while they're at it. Meanwhile, Oil companies are yielding record profits. As for Hugo Chavez, he may be a horrible dictator by our standards, but at least he doesn't start pre-emptive wars wherever he feels like and he doesn't outsource suspected terrorists to secret prisons all over the world to be tortured, otherwise known as "Extraordinary Renditions" or in my parlance Why Won't We Impeach This S.O.B. Already???!!!
