Hillary Clinton `Like a Blond Condeleezza Rice’: Hugo Chavez

13:03 – 06.03.10

Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez mocked Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton on Friday as a "blond" version of her predecessor, reports
Reuters.

Visiting Latin America this week, Clinton said the Obama
administration’s policies toward the region were helping blunt the
criticism of the United States by leftist leaders like Chavez.

"To me, she’s like Condoleezza Rice … a blond Condoleezza," said the
Venezuelan, referring to former U.S. president George W. Bush’s
secretary of state, with whom he exchanged frequent harsh words at
long-distance.

Citing comments by Clinton in Brazil, Chavez said she was proving to
be equally aggressive. "She comes to Brazil to provoke us, to try and
divide us from our brothers."
