King of Spain To Chavez: "SHUT UP!"

A Spanish tongue-lashing
[video]
Score one for civility.

The King of Spain told Venezuelan strongman, Hugo Chavez, to "shut up" at a conference on Saturday. It was civility, in the form of the king, answering rudeness, Chavez.

Chavez, used to jailing, shouting down or strong-arming anyone talking back to him, did not call on police to arrest the king.

More on the exchange from EDUARDO GALLARDO, AP at Breitbart:

The king of Spain told Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to "shut up" Saturday during a heated exchange at a summit of leaders from Latin America, Spain and Portugal.

Chavez, who called President Bush the "devil" on the floor of the United Nations last year, triggered the exchange by repeatedly referring to former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar as a "fascist."

Aznar, a conservative who was an ally of Bush as prime minister, "is a fascist," Chavez said in a speech at the Ibero-American summit in Santiago, Chile. "Fascists are not human. A snake is more human."

Spain's current socialist prime minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, responded during his own allotted time by urging Chavez to be more diplomatic in his words and respect other leaders despite political differences.

"Former President Aznar was democratically elected by the Spanish people and was a legitimate representative of the Spanish people," he said, eliciting applause from the gathered heads of state.

Of course, Chavez was not about to take this with lips zipped.

Chavez repeatedly tried to interrupt, but his microphone was off.

Spanish King Juan Carlos, seated next to Zapatero, angrily turned to Chavez and said, "Why don't you shut up?"

Thank God King Juan Carlos was not carrying a protest sign.

Dog the Bounty Hunter -canceled-: LARRY KING LIVE, How Much Money Did Tucker Receive?

Tucker Richer by More Than 30 Pieces of Silver
Dog to Appear on Larry King LIVE Tonight
Girlfriend Rejects Apology

Dog the Bounty Hunter Wednesday Update:
$10,000? $15,000? $875,000?
How much. How much did Duane "Dog" Chapman's son, Tucker, who sold the tapes of his father talking to him on a private cellphone, recieve for the tapes? Rumors abound as to the amount.

One source said "as much as $875,000", other estimates were quite lower. The lowest amount whispered about was a mere $10,000. Tucker Chapman's known drug problems could have led him to accept the far lower amount. $15,000 is the amount that was used on one broadcast as the amount in question.

Regardless, Tucker received far more than the Biblical "30 pieces of silver", as several have termed it.

Dog will be on Larry King LIVE tonight to discuss: the tapes, what was behind his anger that sparked the outburst and other topics. Larry King Live is on CNN.

Meanwhile, the girlfriend in question said he rejected Dog's apology.

"I know that all of my fans are deeply disappointed in me, as well, as I have tried to be a model for doing the right thing," he said. "I did not do the right thing this time, and hope you will forgive me."
--Duane "Dog" Chapman

The woman at the center of Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman’s racial tirade, which was broadcast throughout the Web and broadcast outlets all over the country, says she rejects his apology.

FROM YESTERDAY




DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER UPDATE: Tuesday 5:53 EST

Dog lands at LAX and is asked "Have you talked to Tucker? Have you guys made up?"
VIDEO HERE

Monday was relatively quiet. A judge dismissed one of the last charges against Duane "Dog" Chapman stemming from his famous Mexico caper with the Max Factor heir. And he landed at LAX with wife Beth and others.

Dog will appear on Larry King LIVE on CNN on Wednesday.

TMZ's take:

Still in the dog house for his liberal use of the N word in a taped phone call with his son Tucker, potty-mouthed "Bounty Hunter" Duane Chapman had little to say on arrival at LAX this morning.

With wife Beth in tow, the gold-chain-wearing ex-con and father of nine (!) revealed only that he has not made up with his young pup -- who allegedly recorded the verbal assault on his girlfriend, Monique Shinnery. Shocker.
