Porque no te callas?

---

As a Brit, I am often dissapointed by my government in their lack of moral fibre and principles. I am of course proud to be British, and hail from the same land as Rhubarb Crumble, King Arthur, London fashion, Radio 1 and T4 on a Sunday morning. But sometimes, and especially recently with our 'brits abroad' foreign policy in the middle east, I fail to see how a country that spawned such articulate people such as Shakespeare, Dickens, Austen, Locke, and even blimming JK Rowling...are upstaged by the oral perfection that was the King of Spain, telling Hugo (Im telling Castro on you) Chavez, Porque no te callas? ....translation: why dont you shut up?

To put this into context, Chavez has recently called the previous PM of SPain (Aznar) a fascist. The current PM Zapatero, although in opposition to Aznar, has defended him from this liable assault, saying that he was democratically elected and although hard line...not fascist. Anyway, the King was present during a meeting between Chavez and Zapatero on another topic. Chavez had been incredibly rude, interrupting the Spanish PM Zapatero throughout the whole meeting when the King had enough and said to Chavez ."why dont you shut up"

Your Majesty, well fucking done.

Long live the king!
As a Briton with a Spanish father, I think Spain definitely gets value for money from their king. It really was time somebody put Chavez in his place.

por que no te callas does not mean why don't you shut up it clearly means why don't you be quiet!

time out...
lets agree to disagree here. In the dictionary both terms are valid.
