According to Ed Morrissey at Hor Air, the black caucus has returned from Cuba with rave reviews of the Casto regime. They argued that the embargo has not worked, which may be true, but some of the comments of those who went on the trip are somewhat amazing.
According to the article:
"It was almost like listening to an old friend," said Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Il.), adding that he found Castro's home to be modest and Castro's wife to be particularly hospitable.
"In my household I told Castro he is known as the ultimate survivor," Rush said.
Anyone aware of the civil rights record of the Casto regime has to be amazed by that statement. I suspect there are a number of Cubans in Florida who might have a problem with the above quote.
