No, apparently this is not a spoof, the scion of the man who was responsible for the Cuban blockade is full of awe for the Cuban dictatorship. Sure, it’s a dictatorship, but other than that, it’s just ducky, apparently. Writing in the South American news agency MercoPress, Robert F. Kennedy avers, after admitting the dictatorship and lack of a free press:

Despite its poverty, Cuba has managed some impressive accomplishments. Cuba’s government boasts the highest literacy rates for its population of any nation in the hemisphere. Cuba claims its citizens enjoy universal access to health care and more doctors per capita than any other nation in the Americas. Cuba’s doctors, reportedly, have high quality medical training.

Kinda make you wonder which of the kennedy clan had the lobotomy doesn't it?

[TexasFreeper2009]

like how NOT to do just about anything?

[denydenydeny]

Yeah, in Cuba the Castro family can have discarded mistresses shot.

[PGR88]

Is this one the rapist, the drug addict or the schizophrenic?

I can’t keep them straight.

[MHT]

And let us not forget the Cuban system of rice maker distribution, dependent on availability of electricity, of course.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

His Uncle John thought we had a lot to learn from Hitler.

[MrB]

Yeah, you can always learn from someone that makes really stupid mistakes.

Just don’t repeat them yourself.

[ScottinVA]

Someone needs to get Junior to explain why so many Cubans want to flee all that wondrous success.

[billorites]

First, gonna get me one of these bitchin' shirts!

[dsrtsage]

I bet they are number one in diversity too

“Cubans today suffer under grater poverty today than they did under the Batista dictatorship. Yes, there is less inequality (although the ruling elite doesn’t suffer), but there is also more poverty.”

That’s what happens when the industrious have to give half of what the earn to the lazy that don’t want to do anything. It’s called COMMUNISM.

[Texas Eagle]

If by "we" he means the DemocRAT Party, then he's right.

In fact, I'd say the 'RATs are practically Rhodes Scholars when it comes to learning from Castro how to rule with an iron fist.

[Da Coyote]

Was it mercury that they ate?

Perhaps the Kennedies have lead in their pipes.

Too much pot...or...cocaine?

Harvard?

Whatever the reason, the stupid is strong in that tribe.

[ScottinVA]

Yeah, in Cuba the Castro family can have discarded mistresses shot.

Vs. drowning them.

[Mr. K]

Like how to repair 1950’s vintage automobiles?

[V_TWIN]

Yep, that’s what the libs cannot explain away, why they are building rafts out of anything that will float just to get outta there.

[Texas Eagle]

Cuba’s government boasts the highest literacy rates for its population of any nation in the hemisphere.

HA! Kim Jung Un can BOAST he made 18 holes in one in one round of golf, but does that make it so?

[Envisioning]

So when is he moving there if it is so great? Oh, he’s not?

[Texas Eagle]

In the South American news agency MercoPress???

Why didn't he "aver" this in a Cuban news agency?

[driftless2]

For decades fellow traveler leftists have argued that socialist i.e. totalitarian commie countries doing business with the evil, capitalist, running-dog-swine Yankee imperialists was to be avoided. Now, of course, the failure of the U.S. to trade with Cuba is the reason the latter is poor. Do these commie clowns ever read their own literature?
