So Fidel Castro considers Bush to be "sinister"...plus, he doesn't read

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5526645/

HAVANA - An indignant Fidel Castro used a live television appearance Monday night to respond to White House charges that his government encourages child prostitution.

Speaking in the central province of Villa Clara on a national holiday marking 51 years since he launched his revolution, Castro depicted President Bush as “sinister” and his charges as “irresponsible statements by the president of the most powerful nation on the planet.”

Three days after Bush’s remarks, the Los Angeles Times reported that the White House found the comments in a Dartmouth undergraduate paper posted on the Internet and lifted them out of context. “It shows they didn’t read much of the article,” commented Charlie Trumbull, the author.

Speaking in 1992 to the Cuban parliament, Castro actually said, “There are prostitutes, but prostitution is not allowed in our country. There are no women forced to sell themselves to a man, to a foreigner, to a tourist.”

2. They need to pay somebody
to do their homework for them.

Obviously these morons have such poor research skills they can't even plagiarize well.

Like him or not, Castro is a far superior speaker and a far superior intellect than president chimpy. I'd love to see a Castro vs. Bush debate!
