CBS Early Show/NewsBusters luv-ya-Fidel ping to Today show list.

[subterfuge]

Will Dan Rather or Steven Speilberg be taking his place?

[IrishMike]

Are tears rolling down Dan Rathers cheeks yet ???????

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Wouldn't expect less from the Communist Brodcasting System.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

I bet she just talked with fellow journalists instead of actual people on the street. More than a few tears will flow in the journalistic community when their hero Fidel becomes tobacco fertilizer.

[Obadiah]

Here's my scenario:

Castro dies in a few months. The freshly minted Katie Couric will be on the job and will travel to Cuba to weep at Castro's funeral. Book it.

[Cincinatus]

Portia Siegelbaum

Is this a joke name? Like "Sillius Soddus" or "Biggus Dickus"??

[butternut_squash_bisque]

Hopefully, he'll *expire* on the table and do the world a real favor.

[Rummyfan]

El Jefe is dead, Jim.

[johnny7]

4. She's a socialist... who admires totalitarian-communists.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Castro had an "intestinal crisis" so they had to send him for emergency surgery to remove Dan Rather from his colon.

[50sDad]

The talking-head Doctor that Nightline had on last night, when asked how serious Castro's illness was, said that in "best case scenario, he should be back up in a month." Maybe a bad choice of words, but it made me laugh.

[bmwcyle]

Oh we must send Fidel a card. It is so sudden. Attach it to a missile so he can read it right away.

[WakeUpAndVote]

Al-Katie will not be the only one there.

Add:
Dan Rather
Jimmy Carter
Cindy Sheman and other code pinkos
Colypso Louie
Harry Bellowfonte

"... I spoke to half-a-dozen people last night and they seemed most shook up by his handing over power, even if provisionally, to his younger brother Raul."


SIX PEOPLE?!?

[governsleastgovernsbest]

It was a small and exclusive reception at the Cuban Ministry of Press Affairs ;-)

[Gay State Conservative]

Heard George Stuffingenvelopes talking to Imus this morning saying,in a breathless,admiring kind of way that Castro had "so much power".

When I heard that,I shouted at the radio..."I THINK THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL A DICTATOR,GEORGIE!"

[Fighting Irish]

Wonder what the fallout would be if we iced Castro's brother just after big brother goes night night on the operating table ...... then simply annex KOOBA into the United States.

Maybe we can get Miami back?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Imagine you're a good Cuban communist, so much that Fidel loves you. Raoul doesn't and considers you and your friends a threat. I can imagine plenty of people shook up at that idea.
