Wonkette
Well, that tears it. Cuban Communist nightmare thug Fidel Castro wrote a sympathetic newspaper column about our president, which means that Obama must resign immediately. “The extreme right hates him for being African-American and fights what the president does to improve the deteriorated image of that country,” Castro wrote. Right at this moment, legions of angry wingnuts are printing out this column as definitive proof that garden variety liberal bleeding hearts are in league with Latin American dictators. [Reuters]
I’ve got bad news: I actually sort of like Wonkette also.
Which pretty much dooms your reputation right there.
Sorry.
And Chavez! Don’t forget Hugo “Yugo” Chavez, the greatest threat to American national security since Man-well Norriega!
Wow, we’re really having to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find enemies worthy of our weapons systems.
Win on the alt-text.
They should show Castro Obama’s All-Star game pitch attempt; that should make the goodwill evaporate.
teebob2000: Is that a bag of dicks you’re munching on Mr. Castro?
Salud, Comrade!
I can’t remember, is Castro a thorn in our side or a dagger in our heart?
Barry, please don’t accept Castro’s gifts of poisoned wetsuits, exploding cigars/ballpens, Nair in shampoo bottles and especially matching velor track suits.
We should nuke this Muslin lovin weiner eater Castro feller and be done with.
Come home, Fielding Nebbish — all is forgiven.
It’s a fine thing Fidel never got signed to the majors. He might have nationalized the curveball and huge moustaches. Rollie Fingers would have been upstaged, and then we’d all be speaking German.
Shit, I could have written that column. Where the fuck is MY tropical island dictatorship?
Aw, jeez. Does this mean all us Obamatards are going to have to start wearing those dorky cuban hats, as a show of solidarity?
I was wondering why Big 5 was stockpiling those idiotic things.
Lemme know when they’ve dug up pix of Barry gnawing on a Cuban sandwich.
I thought Castro was dead.
Wake me up when bin Laden writes him a belated-birthday poem.
No .gif of him falling down?
Weak.
That proves Obama’s a nazi!
Old Man Castro is old and was probably tripping balls on various opiates while he rubber-stamped what some staffer wrote, anyway.
Sometimes a wiener is just a cigar. Wait, what?
Castro put Dijon mustard on his wiener.
Guppy06: Yes, because he has the socialized medicine (literally) and all the smack is FREE!
Min: He’s not dead. He’s practicing for the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest. That’s why he had that mysterious stomach ailment.
millas gracias, Castro. this should inject a little sanity into the health care debate and push reform over the top.
SayItWithWookies: Fielding Nebbish was a total Mellish!
“Reeling from criticism of its plan to designate September 11 a ‘Day of National Service,’ the Obama administration announced a new date for the holiday: July 26″
Maybe now that the last Kennedy is dead, he’ll shuffle off the mortal coil as well. I think spite was the only thing keeping him alive.
Forgive me, OT. When is Newell going to post about his brave town hall attendence? The one that Moran threw Randell Terry out? Epic.
AxmxZ: And the Taliban sends him a plethora of pinatas .
And tommorow in Granma: “Rush Limbaugh is Fat” by Fidel Castro.
Don’t knock Fidel. He responded to Hurricane Katrina quicker than George Bush did.
Both Barry and Fidel smoke. Need I say more?
This is one time when Obama would benefit by killing Granma.
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Unless it’s digital, in which case you can’t read it at all. Whatevs.
The old man is just confused. He heard some wingnuts screaming “socialism” and thought they were serious. Trust me, fidel, obama’s basically the same old capitalist imperialist.
Norbert: I’m relieved to see that you survived your undercover mission inside Castro’s mouth relatively unscathed, Agent Wiener Dog.
Fidel’s just tryin’ to one-up L’il Kim & his bromance with Bubba Bill
Given the predictable reactions of the winger (Commies loves Obama, Obama must love commies), how about a little psy-op — we get Barney Frank, Al Franken, and the remaining Kennedys to start signing the praises of McCain, Boner, Delay, Beck, Hannity, and the like — just to see how that messes with their heads.
Is there anything Castro hasn’t said? I mean, he used to give these 8, 9, 10 hour speeches that went on and on and on about everything. You could easily go in, clip some excerpts, post them on tea-bagger sites without attribution, and you’d have 95% of the wingnuts going “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!” in full support.
Guppy06: Nah, no staffer could counterfeit Fidel’s patented rambling monologues. Legend has it that Che Guevara got picked for the Communist leadership because he was the only one who could listen to one of Fidel’s dinner stories all the way through.
Castro’s remarks have already been set to music by Ry Cooder.
El Pinche: And Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías will hold a raffle to shave his ‘fro.
He should have ended by saying, “And by the way, you geography-impaired Yanquis, he was actually born here in Havana; I have his very long birth certificate right here.” Orly would have lost her Taitz.
Back in the 1970’s I thought Castro was HOT!
I totally would have done him.
