I was wondering how long it would take for Hugo Chavez to crawl out of his digs and make some pronouncement about the recent diplomatic cable leaks. As a matter of fact, I was reading more of the cables this morning regarding Argentina, the dynamics of the presidency held by both husband and wife, and the reaction of the State Department to Nestor Kirchner's death. Apparently, Hillary Clinton was concerned as to how Cristina Kirchner was holding up from a mental standpoint, and if she was on any medication to help her cope.Chavez certainly picked up on this as well, as he suggested in Venezuela's El Universal that Hillary Clinton needed to have her head examined. He appeared on VTV, most likely the only channel left that he hasn't shut down, to criticize the United States, and congratulate WikiLeaks, which he said have demonstrated 'valor'.
As far as he's concerned, the United States doesn't really care much about the leaks one way or the other, but for its allies, he seemed to marvel at the amount of 'spying' that was done. He urged the US Secretary of State to resign in light of the magnitude of the revelations.
