SHUT UP!



So Spain, Portugal, Andorra, and all of Latin America decided to get together and have lunch. OK, so this was kind of a bas idea from the start. Especially considering how Andorra was invited.

Worse yet, someone put NewsBlues favorite son and anti-colonialist Hugo Chavez at the same table as the Spanish deligation. Big Mistake. Those of you who can understand Spanish should watch the clip above. Those who can't should read this:

King Juan Carlos told Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez to "shut up" as the Ibero-American summit drew to a close in Santiago, Chile.

The outburst came after Mr Chavez called former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar a "fascist".

Mr Chavez then interrupted Spanish PM Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's calls for him to be more diplomatic, prompting the king's outburst.

The clip is far better for the play-by-play. You should also check out the story from El Mundo. I'm not sure how many of my readers will truly appreciate this story, so I'm including a link to the Wiki page on the King.
