Funny, don't half your people have blonde hair and names like Juan Jose Richthofen?
Unsurprisingly, President Bush's trip to South American has not been met with entirely open arms. Leftists don't like him, Hugo Chavez is up to various shenanigans, and even the party of the President of Brazil is planning on joining anti-Bush demonstrations.
However, I found this particular section of the NY Times article on the trip, discussing one set of demonstrators in Brazil, particularly interesting:
"At an evening rush-hour protest in the central business district here, several thousand activists wore stickers showing Mr. Bush with a Hitler-style mustache and a swastika next to his head and the words 'Fora Bush,' or 'Bush Out.'
With the police standing by in riot gear, antiwar protesters mixed with unionists and environmentalists, who are concerned that harvesting ethanol from sugar could hurt the Amazon. A sea of signs read 'Adolf Bush' or 'Quit Playing With the Environment.'”
I mean, come on. When you think about the reaction of Brazil, and South America in general, when REAL Nazis washed up on their shore, this is pretty ironic. Or perhaps a cataclysmic show of gall and chutzpah. Now, I'm all for Bush-bashing and I'm generally amused by the vitriolic clown show that is Hugo Chavez, but this is a little much.

There is one undeniable good about Hugo Chavez: his existence VASTLY improves the chances of a Red Dawn II.
