Fidel Castro: GOP race "the greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance that has ever been”

By MACKENZIE WEINGER | 1/25/12 1:33 PM EST

The Republican presidential race is “the greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance that has ever been,” former Cuban president Fidel Castro wrote in an opinion piece on Wednesday.

Castro made his comments in his latest column of “reflections” on a Cuban government website, attacking the Republican candidates two days after their debate in Florida.

“The selection of a Republican candidate for the presidency of this globalized and expansive empire is – and I mean this seriously – the greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance that has ever been,” he wrote, according to The Associated Press.

Of course we have more where they came from--as evidenced by a decades long obsession with painting Fidel as the great "satan".... Gee, now why does that seem eerily familiar?
