The nickname used by former Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez to refer to the former
American president George W. Bush. Chavez called Bush "Mr. Danger" whenever he was in a good mood or just tired of calling him “The Devil”. Interestingly, the
dub “Mr. Danger” comes from a classic Latin
American novel, “Doña Bárbara”, written by the Venezuelan author Rómulo Gallegos and first published in 1929. In the novel, Guillermo Danger, also referred to as Míster Danger, is a perfidious and symbolic character that represents the threats of imperialism to the young Venezuelan Republic. So folks, lets face it: Chavez might have done many
crazy things but he did pass his literature lesson.

Mr. Danger. You are a donkey, Mr George W Bush."
