Far, far right Wing Religious Radical Pat Robertson's call to break longstanding United States law and assasinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez was met with silence from President George Bush and mild quasi-denunciations from administration officials.

The New York Times quotes Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld saying only, "Certainly, it's against the law. Our department doesn't do that type of thing. Private citizens say all kinds of things all the time."

State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said "This is not the policy of the United States government. We do not share his views."

Private citizens say things?!? We do not share his views? Those are not denuciations; it's weasley word play. Just the type of thing we've come to expect from this irresponsible administration.

But then that's what you get when far right wing conservatives control everything--support for the irrational and irresponsible.
