Fidel Castro calling President Bush ‘deranged’? That’s rich.
He spoke to a group of teachers from around the world who were enthralled by his FIVE HOUR SPEECH on the fantastic benefits of socialism. Among his remarks convincing the teachers that socialism is the way to go (talk about preaching to the converted), he said Cuba “doesn’t need the United States, it doesn’t need Europe.” He added. “What a wonderful thing to be able to say, that (Cuba) doesn’t need any assistance—it’s learned to live without it.” … giving a new definition to the phrases “live without it” and “need any assistance”, along with the word “deranged”.
Cuban leader Fidel Castro said President Bush appeared “deranged” during his inauguration speech, and he expressed little enthusiasm for renewed diplomatic ties with the European Union.
In comments aired on state-run television late Tuesday, Castro told thousands of teachers attending an international pedagogy conference in Havana that he closely watched Bush’s inauguration speech Jan. 20 and saw “the face of a deranged person.”
“If only it were just the face,” he said, to roars of applause. [my bolding]
Castro, wearing his olive green military uniform, criticized Bush’s government, linking it to corruption and torture. He then defended Cuba’s socialist system, which the Bush administration has said should be replaced with a democratic, free-market one.
“This country is heaven, in the spiritual sense of the word,” he said. “And I say (to Bush): We prefer to die in heaven than survive in hell.”
Right.
