ELIAN GONZALEZ TALKS TO 60 MINUTES

I wonder if his 5th grade speach was written by an DNC/Hollyewood writer.

[wideawake]

It's pretty clear that the kid's being groomed for next dictator.

He's extremely well-known by everyone on the island, he's supposedly pretty bright, the imprisoned citizens of Cuba have a positive image of him (unlike the image they have of practically every other regime apparatchik), and he's a good-looking telegenic kid who will probably be a very telegenic adult.

The Euros and South Americans will eat up a Communist dictator who dresses snazzy and looks like Ricky Martin.

"Someday I will reign in terror and kill all the anti-revolutionaries just like Daddy and Uncle Hugo!"

Elian will come back to the US some day to stay. He will write a book and make millions of dollars.

[b4its2late]

Brainwashed.

[Jim Noble]

Elian said that he had seen the original fitness report on Lt. Bush, and that he DID refuse his physical.

Honest.

[ssaftler]

Well, CNN has been the "Communist News Network" (or, in the boring 90s, the "Clinton News Network") for some time now.

CBS has now established itself as the "Castro Broadcasting System" with this latest installment of "60 Minutes".

[rovenstinez]

Maybe his 'father' Fidel will leave him an inheritance of about 1 billion US dollars of his FORTUNE. I wonder why the Cubans never have resented Fidel stashing so much cash. Isn't he won of this hemispheres more financially endowed?

[NativeNewYorker]

Yeah...they never have an answer to the question of "if it's so great in Cuba, why do people routinely risk their lives to leave?"

[pepperhead]

Castro has had 5 years to "educate" the boy.

I think he should have been sent back with his father. But no doubt Castro has "educated" him.

[JZelle]

Can he pitch?

Elian Gonzalez, now a seventh grader in Cuba who calls President Fidel Castro a friend and "father," would see his Miami relatives again, despite saying their treatment of him five years ago was wrong. Gonzalez is interviewed by Bob Simon for a 60 MINUTES report to be broadcast Sunday, Oct. 2 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

A child says the tyrant he lives under is wonderful. What does this remind us of??

Ah, yes - how about a cable news network wanting a Baghdad bureau so badly that it toadied up to Saddam and made its Baghdad bureau essentially a propaganda organ for Saddam Hussain:

The News We (CNN) Kept To Ourselves

The "fake but" network is despicable.

[babyface00]

The boy believes that he could call the Cuban president on the phone if he wanted to.

Of course, Elian's family would actually have to own a phone, and the phone lines in Cuba would actually have to work, but other than that...

[Yaelle]

Aw, he looks so sweet. Well, I am sad to see him brainwashed, but what boy WOULDN'T want to be with his Daddy and his school friends, when you think about it? My heart has broken for him, though, for the hideous, cruel way he was taken in the night at the end of a machine gun. Worse than Castro's indoctrination.

[kellynla]

More Communist propaganda from See B.S.
Castro has had five friggin' years to indoctrinate this boy.


How Castro has managed to stay alive all this time is a mystery to me.
I know he wouldn't last a weekend in my neighborhood!

Semper Fi,
Kelly

[Holicheese]

Don't forget his hot cousin that he shared a room with...MEOW!

[Holicheese]

Dude, that was great! YOu are the big winner for the best post of the day!

[Paradox]

I think he should have been sent back with his father. But no doubt Castro has "educated" him.

I agree. And he will have special treatment, being a national hero and all. He won't have to live like the average cuban.

[Dahoser]

I'm enforcing my Elian rule with Mia T's help. Thanks, Mia.

[McGruff]

CBS has now established itself as the "Castro Broadcasting System"

Good one.
