CNN: Libya gives human rights prize to Venezuela's Chavez
CARACAS, Venezuela (Reuters) -- Libya Sunday awarded its annual Moammar Gadhafi human rights prize to Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez for resisting "imperialism" and being a champion of the poor.A citation accompanying the award, named after Libya's leader, Gadhafi, was read by a Libyan delegation attending a live television and radio show hosted by Chavez.
It praised the Venezuelan leader's "brave heart, intelligent mind, eloquent oratory and firm hand."
That is wrong on so many levels.
First of all, LIBYA has a Human Rights Prize?
Named for MUAMMAR AL-QADDAFI?
And past winners include FIDEL CASTRO?
And now HUGO CHAVEZ?
My head hurts too much right now, so I really need someone to go bitchslap Libya for me, especially Muammar al-Qaddafi. While you're at it, smack Hugo Chavez, too.
