Fidel evaluates the Republican Team B

He may be an old authoritarian figure, but he knows baseball and he knows a Team B when he sees one. Here's Fidel's take on the Republican candidates:


"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."

This may be slightly hyperbolic, since I doubt that either he or any of us know all the competitions of idiocy and ignorance that have "ever been", but it is substantially correct. The so-called "debates" have drawn out the incompetence, cruelty and logical fuzziness of these tenth-raters and their dim followers. It's all name-calling and tossing out rotten scraps of red meat to an audience of superficial morons.

That's why it's harder and harder to write blogs about them. It's Team B of a party that has no Team A.

(In case you think this is hyperbole, read or listen to what they had to say in the last Florida "debate" about the "Dream Act" or about making war on Iran . These guys are heartless and dangerous.)
