Clip from CNN: McCain "I'll sit down with the Castro bros.. after they empty their political prison"
Funny thing. We actually have our own "political prison" on that very same island. Are we going to empty ours before or after they empty theirs?

The irony from that clip almost made me fall out of my chair when I heard it this morning.

3. This McCain policy seems very passive

The whole point of diplomacy is to persuade your opponent to do something.

If you do nothing then nothing will change.

4. Didn't Cuba already empty their prisons once?
As I recall, that didn't turn out too well for us.

5. Castro emptied his prisons once before ... and sent them here. It didn't turn out well.
McCain eats another shoe.

9. Funny how the Republicans somehow SNUCK a Fucking PRISON Into Cuba
And the Castros Never even Noticed, ain't it?

How goddam STUPID do You Think WE Are McShitforbrains? Like Jon Stewart said, "Do they think We're Retarded?"

Gee, those pesky Cuban Commies, You WAX, You BUFF, but they just Keep Coming Back, like yellow, waxy buildup on a kitchen Floor.. And McCain's TEETH in case his Filthy Rich Zombie Wife cared to Notice, and not send him into our midst looking like the shitbag we called "Schlidney" in high school who had teeth that stuck out at 45 degree angles from one another with green MOSS waving in the Saliva current..

Oooh.. Hey, isn't McCain's real Name "Sidney"?

Makes perfect sense..

I'd pick fucking Castro's Health Plan over McStupids any day of the week :)

10. Why would the senator from Arizona sit down with any foreign leader?
Somehow, I don't think they really care what he thinks about anything.
(I'm not defending Castro, I'm just asking why he would care what a shriveled up old politician in America thinks about him? He'd probably be more concerned with what President Obama has to say on that issue).

11. The Castro Brothers?
I have all their albums.

Seriously, this man is delusional. Fidel is GONE from the scene.
