“FREE THEWARLORD OFGANGSTER”

Reuters reports:

Cuban leader Fidel Castro has long prided himself on Cuba’s doctors and free public health care system, but that system seems to have let him down after he fell ill in July, U.S.-based doctors said on Tuesday ...

“It’s not a good story. Too bad they didn’t send him to Miami for surgery,” said Dr. Charles Gerson, a clinical professor of medicine in the gastroenterology division of New York’s Mt. Sinai School of Medicine.

Castro may have needed more than just intestinal surgery had he been sent to Miami. Meanwhile, the dictator’s illness prompts this outburst from a Puce-like entity (possibly the same chap who recently dropped in on ABC News):

I STRONGLY BELIVED WHAT CASTRODID WERE CORRECT,AT THETIME WHEN CUBAWERE CORRUPTWITHGANGSTER ANDMAFISO HAVE A FREE REIN IN THE COUNTY,BEHAVING LIKE WARLORD OF A COUNTRY. WELLCASTRO DID WERE MORE APPROPRIATELY SAID BY JOHN KENNEDY ” ASKED NOT WHAT THE COUNTRY CAN DOFOR YOU BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY”.

Well, obviously.

  9. It reads like a Phil Adams opinion piece that has been translated into Finnish using Babel Fish, and then into French and then back into English. Of course, the essential idiocy of the original content still shines through like a ray of sunlight poking its way through a break in an overcast sky. Or is this one of those experiments featuring chimps and typewriters?

  18. I STRONGLY BELIVED WHAT CASTRODID WERE CORRECT

    At first glance, I read “Castrodid” as “Castroid”. It’s sort of like ‘haemorrhoid’ which seems very appropriate in this case.

    I think I’ll refer to Castro as ‘the Castroid’ from now on.

  20. It doesn’t make any less sense than the other useless
    idiots droning on about how Castro “cares” for the poor and gives them top rate education (yes with all the modern educational tools at his disposal, I’m sure), great healthcare (they use donkey ambulances, seriously) and three meals a day (of what, they never say).  Oh, and if he has failed in
    any of these wonderful goals, blame can be laid on the shoulders of the EVIL USA and our true dictator and tyrant, GW Bush…

  23. I was reading something about Cuba the other day. It is a story of two women whose fathers were murdered by Castro and their action against Cuba in the US courts. One of the women, a former television executive called Bonnie Anderson describes a conversation with the former President of CNN, Rick Kaplan, who said,

    I know he killed your dad, but he’s still a good guy in my book.

  26. It’ll be interesting to see what happens to Cuba after the old cigar-chomping bastard is dead.  Raul may be next in line, and it might be business as usual, but I’m betting there’ll be a power struggle and an attempt to open the country up.

  27. Too bad they didn’t send him to Miami for surgery

    Am I missing something?  Wouldn’t sending him to the US for treatment increase his chances of survival?

  28. #26 Rebecca: The main problem, once Castro is carried on the wings of koalas to his ultimate reward, is that Raul has been consolidating his own power base in the police and army for many years, primarily by making sure that the armed forces have ownership interests in practically anything in the country that actually makes money. There is no doubt that he lacks his brother’s special “aura” of revolutionary charisma, but the police and army aren’t going to want to hand over their perquisites to any kind of democratically-elected government that would not only take away their goodies, but also, perhaps, want to take a serious look at punitive measures against some of the more odious abusers of human rights. My guess is that once Fidel is planted, Cuba’s government is going to more closely resemble the profile of the traditional Latin American dictatorship, the romantic appeal of Fidelismo will quickly wane (as will, to some extent, the international left’s adoration, since Fidel, personally, has been the main focus for their hero-worship), the desire to export revolution will pretty much vanish (if, for no other reason, than that the island’s miserable economy will not support it), and Raul will slowly try to reach some accomodation with the U.S., although probably not without squeezing his European suckers first, and for all their worth.

  29. All this because he refused a colostomy.  He didn’t want crap coming out his abdomen.  I don’t know why he’s so fussy, he’s had crap coming out of his mouth for years.

  34. This was inevitable.

    The world supply of celebrities willing to eat Castro’s shit is finite.

    His ability to produce it is infinite (Cuba’s one surplus).

    Sooner or later he was bound to choke on it.

  35. Even if Raul does take over, he’s got to be getting up there in years as well.  Hopefully the wonderful socialist revolutionary medical system can work the same magic on him.

  40. I can’t believe how slow all y’all are in figuring out this whole thing.

    Of course the US put Castro up to taking over Cuba. Of course Castro then allied with the Sovs, as per schedule and plan.

    Of course the US then boycotted Cuba.

    It’s all about the cigars man! This was the opening salvo in the “stop smoking” campaign.

    On the other hand, I don’t think Puce himself addressed the substance of his own argument.

    Anyway I am awaiting with some interest the outcome of Cuba’s first successful Castroectomy.

  47. #10 My uncle always used to call his TAB addiction “a flutter on the gee gees”.

    From this one may deduce that refugugees are probably in fact horses who have fled their homelands due to internecine strife caused by the Porcine Brigades (like the Red Brigades, only pink. With curly tails).

    Either that, or camels which come complete with a small Arabic rider pre-welded to the saddle.

  48. The most peculiar aspect of those who love Castro and hate the capitalist swine Bush is the ability they have to not notice who really is the accumulator of the wealth of the workers. Like all dictators Castro is a very rich man, Forbes estimated his wealth in 2005 as $550 million, 2006, $900 million. George Bush is estimated to be worth between $9 and $26 million.

    Fidel has been very successful in making the country do it for him.

    Raul is certainly not going to let go of the family company when the old murderer dies.

  52. Reading the rest of that comment thread is truly depressing. The Castroid is a hero for “pissing off the Yanks” and any “trouble” they endure is entirely the fault of “US sanctions”. The fucking idiots deliberately ignore the fact that every other country in the world trades with Fidel’s prison camp.

    Bah!

  53. I’m fascinated by the fact that the SMH allowed this ungrammatical, poorly spelt, poorly punctuated, mostly-shouting rant to appear on their newsblog pages.  The reason is that on December 20th Matthew Moore posted a story on his FOI blog about a fellow called Vince Neary and the struggle Neary had with the NSW railways.  Moore described whistleblower Neary as “obsessive”.  I wrote to say (something like) that I thought it unkind of him to use that term and that Neary should be regarded as honourable and courageous.  It’s so long ago I can’t remember the exact words.

    When I clicked Submit a message came up saying that my comment would be moderated.  And when I looked today (18th January) it’s apparent that the moderator decided against publishing my little contribution.  I wonder why.  Maybe I should have found some way to criticise GWB or JH rather than MM.

  54. #28, adoration, since Fidel, personally, has been the main focus for their hero-worship

    Hate to disagree with you paco, but generations of true believers rushed to Cuba and never ever saw the guy.  They came back with starry socialist eyes over rows of rusty corncobs, humid, smelly poverty and rusty cars. 
    You can’t expect idiots to give up believing when their cruel dictator snuffs it.  Look at Saddam.

    Love of the Myth of Equality goes hand in hand with the absolute denial of it by a brutal ruler.

  56. One: Castro didn’t need Miami. He needed a colostomy, but he was too proud to poop in a bag connected to his side, so ended up with his colon falling apart where it was sewn, if the Spanish story is correct.
    Two: Now, what is wrong with a million hard working Cubans arriving in Miami? The problem with the Mariel boatlift wasn’t the refugees but that Castro dumped a lot of jailed criminals in Miami.
    Of course, as the wife and mother of proud immigrant Americans, I don’t hyperventillate about these things.
