Castro breaks arm & knee in fall. CNN does joke piece about it.

Plays song "Falling" and inserts "America's Funniest Video" BOINGS and other sound effects to highlight the 78 year-old's injuries.

WTF is so funny about an injury like this. Ha ha ha Anderson Cooper, that was a good one.

:sigh:

11. You're so absolutely right.
I'm so used to the RW assigning all sorts of "non-patriotic" adjectives to the left I bought into it. Thank you.

3. Without class
I saw a report on CNN and the reporter closed by talking to a Castro aid that said, "he is a very strong man and will recover rapidly" and then the reporter said, "for those that want to see Castro gone, another disappointment". What, were they hoping he broke his neck? Pitiful!

4. Why no funny bit about the Traitor breaking his hip?
Novak was looking a little blurred today, I noticed.

something 'hip hop'.

His lies have hurt way more americans than Fidel's have.

i hate this society, right now, this moment. we all stink, even the people I think smell ok, end up stinking in some way or another.

I also hate having a couple beer and posting - as some of you do as well I gather....

13. Wonder if Novak really fell.
I like to picture a couple goons visiting him telling him what will happen if he sings to the grand jury. Just like the old time gangster movies.

15. I noticed...
the whole "tone" on CNN was that it was funny. "Heh, heh, THE FALL OF CASTRO! Heh, heh." Then they played the tape of a Chevy Chase (G. Ford) falling act. Real yuck-yuck.

17. This country is so mean.
I mean, really, the spirit is so negative, I can't stand it! Is this what * meant when he said he was "a uniter, not a divider?"

We're told to hate the French because they won't play with us
John Kerry's wounds were faked - here's your purple heart band-aid
John Kerry is really Orange today
John Edwards' hair is styled
Lesbian becomes the new L-word
It's OK for the VP to tell a senator to F-himself.

Geez, it's like we're living in Jr. High (that's what we used to call it before "middle-school.")
