If Ozzie Guillen's mouth is the daily story in Chicago, his success apparently is the talk of his native Venezuela.

During his weekly state-run TV and radio show, 'Hello President,'' Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez had Guillen on for a phone interview Sunday. Guillen, the first Venezuelan manager in major-league history, talked about the call Wednesday.

'I would say I was honored,'' he said. 'Not too many people like the president. I do. My mom will kill me, but it's an honor to talk to the president."
