    The truth isn't racism.

    An illerate, idiotic lunatic isn't being racist.

    Just an observation.

    Why do so many South American countries select cartoon characters for President ?

    Ah well.

    Look at the bright side, at least the entertainment is sorted out.

    A turn by Christina followed by a turn from Maduro, New York just got itself a New Comedy Club!

    It is quite clear that Latin America has little respect for the United Nations.

    Since when is being called stupid a racist statement? SO I can hardly wait, as I am sure the UN as well........for the 3 ring circus to begin. The big, burning question.....who will take the main stage.

    If he is proud to be a bus driver why does he consider it an insult? Hmmmm. Has he considered returning to his former career?

    What is the betting he will not attend?

    Chaps I think its time the mighty USA kicked the UN out of America,
    withdrew from this barren corrupt bunch of twit twats,

    me thinks it should transferred to Venezuela
    as it is poised to gain a temporary seat on the UN Security Council in 2015-16
    perhaps its better south America took control of the UN after all they are first ones to arrive and the last ones to leave, with all the crying begging and free stuff in between.
    perhaps most of the civilised world could also withdraw
    just a thought.

    I think Chavez's daughter looks more like Ms Piggy from the Muppet Show....no offence to Ms Piggy. Now that she's being named VZ's alternate ambassador to the UN, Maria Gabriela will probably move out of the Presidential Palace - which she has been occupying illegally since the death of her bafoon father - to the official residence of the ambassador to the UN... a more appropriate move however, would be to one of Caracas' cathouses...

    This article is nothing but a complete let down.

    I have scoured it top to bottom I still cannot find a photo of ‘hold very tight’ after saying “Just you wait!” added Maduro, decked out in a jacket fashioned off Venezuela's vibrant yellow, blue and red flag.

    Beats a clown suit any time by the sound of it.

    I am of the same mind as Elaine: hi is running scared and won’t turn up. He could send Chavez’s “little girl” to flutter her ‘whatever’ at them all.

    Why would 'Nicky' think anyone would be interested in when and how often he jerks himself off? Even if he's successful!

    He won't show.
    There will be false claims of an imminent conspiracy to kill him, so he must stay home to save the population from the evil Empire. (Because he is scared of embarrassing himself)
    Just watch.

    Let him go, the world will learn the valuable lesson I have learned from coming on here, what's the lesson?

    When you are dissatisfied, bemoan or criticise the leader you have, take a good hard, a good hard look. at this man and give thanks to whoever it is you thank, that it is not this man, or any of those, who will no doubt applaud him at this venue.

    Being called fat, stupid, unable to properly govern a country, broke, a deadbeat, and having the vast intellectual capacity of a bus driver, isn't racist.

    It is the truth, in Caracas, or in New York..
