What the fuck is going on around here?

and now the true commie steps up to the plate

[Harlan Huckleby]

Good riddance to Castro!

How is what Bush said stupid or insulting their people.

It's a time for concilitory talk. The Cubans have their gripes about Castro, but they are still proud of their revolution. Bush doesn't need to rub in their noses that they have lousy leadership. Can you imagine Bush ridiculing the old Chinese men who lead China at the moment when power might be changing hands? This sort of talk just spurs a backlash. People in other countries have pride.

Harlan wants everyone to pretend to be a politcally correct asskissing phony like him.

True, but their leadership does suck! It's not a true democracy when someone runs a country for decades. If the Castro brothers really do run the country there might not be much change, and time will tell if there really is any change.

it was much worse there when they did have a "true democracy" with the US supported batista in control

Like I said, PRETEND. Nothing about you is real.

Its part of a steady pattern of diplomatic incompetence.

Do you remember the Rumsfeld/Bush talk of "old/new Europe" that damaged relations with our European allies for 4 years?

I think comments like what Bush made today about Castro are very damaging, particularly at an emotional moment for the Cuban population. Just really, really stupid.

Why would you spend so much time in PM's with an old gay guy?

What George should have said - "Good luck Cuba".

I see. So if I am PRETENDING to be an ass-kissing phony, than REALLY I'm a great guy. no, wait, nothing about me is real.

I'm having a little trouble working through this, doctor.

Exactly
