As the world leaders were asked to speak for five minutes and when Chavez kept talking, the presiding diplomat passed him a note that his time was up.

The Venezuelan leader threw the note on the floor and said, "If Bush could speak for 20 minutes at Wednesday's opening session, so can I," and spoke for 20 minutes. At the end, Chavez's remarks got the loudest applause of the summit.
