The King of Spain puts Hugo Chavez temporarily in his place

The King of Spain gives Hugo Chavez a tongue lashing here. I would guess that this is something that a lot of people wish they could have done. Spain's Socialist Prime Minister comes across as too gentle on Chavez.

UPDATE: Well, "temporary" was certainly the right term here. Spain's Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos has tried to calm things down by saying:

"We want to have good relations with everyone, but always with respect for institutions. If we are not shown respect, we must react," he said.
