In his latest televised appearance Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has told the U.S. government to �go to hell� following questions from Washington on his plans to legislate by decree for 18 months.

Chavez said his plans to rule were �sacrosanct legal authority of Venezuela,� adding � go to hell gringos! Go home! Go home!" He went on to proclaim, �We're free here, and every day we'll be more free."

The comments came following State Department spokesman Tom Casey�s remarks that the plan was "a sovereign right of Venezuela but certainly ... a bit odd in terms of a democratic system."
