Fidel Castro appears in public for first time in over a year

BY DANIEL TROTTA

(Reuters) - Former Cuban President Fidel Castro, 88, appeared in public "full of vitality" for the first time in more than a year on Monday, greeting a delegation of Venezuelans, official media reported on Saturday.

It was his first known appearance outside his home since Cuba in December agreed to normalize relations with the United States, Castro's longtime adversary.

Official media showed images of a seated Castro shaking hands with the visiting Venezuelans through the window of his vehicle, wearing a baseball cap and a windbreaker.

There was no explanation why five days passed before the encounter was reported in Cuba.

He met at a school with 33 Venezuelans, who were on a solidarity mission to Cuba, for about 90 minutes. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, oil-rich Venezuela has become Communist Cuba's closest ally and chief benefactor.

He lived long enough to see the US not only capitulate, but become overrun by commies in the nations highest office.

Riding by in the back seat of a car and shaking hands through the window is hardly “full of vitality”. I’ll bet the old coot can’t even stand.

You can’t stop the inevitable, Fidel. You’ll be rooming with Stalin before you know it.

"Castro ... full of vitality" Are you tired, listless? Do you pop out after four hour Party speeches? Are you unpoopular with los campesinos because you're worth 1.3 billion and they're driving 60 year old Chevys? Is your best gringo amigo a Kenyan pendejo? Well comrades ....
