King Juan Carlos 1 : Hugo Chavez 0

It has taken a long time but finally somebody, the Spanish King Juan Carlos, has said to Hugo Chavez what many have been thinking for years.

"Por que no te callas" / "Why don't you shut-up".

This happened at the recent Spanish - Latinamerican conference, when a rather pissed Monarch, tried to give Chavez a good bit of advice. Although this is bound to have repercussions I doubt very much they will be the desired ones.

"Viva el Rey"

I read about that. Apparently someone else first tried to diplomatically suggest that Chavez close his pie-hole and that didn't have much effect. An exasperated King told him to just shut up. There's hope for Yurrup yet!

Can you imagine Elizabeth saying that to anyone? I'd pay to see it!
