What a hero, hanging around the airport, insulting travellers. Why is this no surprise?

What a waste of skin. This article was ALMOST too obnoxious. It's delightful noting that the travellers had seen his grubby kind before, and weren't impressed:

She and her husband, William, were eager to assess whether Rivera's dire warnings of poverty and repression were true. And if U.S. policy is doing any good.

'I think a lot of the arguments are passé: `They expropriated U.S. property,' '' said William Belmont, a retired economist parroting Rivera. ``We did the same to the British during the Revolution and it was called patriotism.'' (snip)

When it appeared he was getting NOWHERE with them, he fell back on the ubiquitous CANF/Otto Reich/Diaz-Balart venom, and tried the old "Call them horny bastards" ploy:

(snip) ''You never know what perverts lurk in these groups,'' he said. ``Those people seemed nice, but you never know, do you?''
