Dear Editor: The only two politicians I've really seen acting like humans -- versus programmed lying robots (apart of the clinically mad ones) were French President Jacques Chirac when Zidane shot the winning goal at the World Cup ... that great show of humanity lasted about 30 seconds. The second is Chavez, who does it 24/7.

I have no doubt that he's guilty of not employing a horde of 'Yalie' speechwriters but lets it come right out of his tripes. Wherever he's going, he's not doing his revolution out of some ideological manual, the effects of which we've all seen with "applied socialism" (the one that wasn't scientific at all for not having been tried on rats!).

Oh yes! His language!

It's like homosexuality.  Chavez-like language from politicians used to be heard only when the *******s were ordered by courts to release their tapes.

Chavez only brings "bad manners" out of the closet.

But 120% of his listeners understand EXACTLY what he means, and his voters aren't Vassar undergrads anyway.

Besides, the more politicians talk their "bedside language," the more it costs us taxpayers zillions in Champagne and caviar ... and as far as I'm concerned, it's not worth the price.
