Let's say he is dead..with the left feeling it's oats who do you suppose will go to the funeral???
Carter, Rather, Maxine .....
Danny Glover, Oliver Stone, Cindy Sheehan...
Will we have the Cuban version of a Wellstone memorial?
Actually, El Barbudo has been morally bankrupt and spiritually dead for years. We saw him once, on a visit to Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of International Relations, and remember being struck by his size --orders of magnitude beyond most Cubans'-- and well-pressed fatigues (pressed!).
Nearly a half-century later, we assert that with Tito and any number of other Iron Curtain satraps, this individual is personally responsible for more human suffering, wasted potential, purposeful embrace of misery and death, than any normal (non-Leftist ideologue) person would consider possible. Hollywood romanticizes this creature; you still see "El Che" teeshirts with that goblin-master soulfully prospecting his next victims.
Hope rumors are true! It took awhile for Khmer Rouge to admit that their beloved Pol Pot (Saloth Sar) had stuck his head in the devil's cauldron. For sheer unhinged malignancy, nothing beats a National Socialist, International Socialist, Democratic Socialist, New Socialist-- any Socialist. Will Gore and Kerry, mayhap Carter, Slophead, and MzBill, attend the funeral? When dykes burst, tight skirts engulf us all.
