Tyrant Losing His Touch?

The tyrant in Havana is having fits over this one, ever the master at propaganda displays, the US beat him at his own game this time.  Timing is everything...

and for fun, check out this photo at El Confeti and Babalu is all over this one.

U.S. diplomats in Havana flash messages to Cuban protesters outside as fidel castro addresses the government-sponsored coerced march.

The Havana billboard war rages on today: the U.S. Interests Section turned on its new electronic message sign -- just as tens of thousands of protesters marched by in a rally against the American government.

Blinking today's news and quotes from the likes of Abraham Lincoln and Mahatma Gandhi, the sign was first posted on Martin Luther King Day. It was turned on this morning just as President(sic) fidel castro began speaking to masses of people called to protest against the U.S. custody of accused terrorist Luis Posada Carriles.

''They turned on their little sign; how brave the little cockroaches are,'' castro said. ``Looks like Little Bush gave the order.''

The U.S. Interest Section says it only makes sense: ''if the point is to reach people, why not turn it on when a million people are cruising by?'' a U.S. official said.

A point which may have been missed by the coma andante (walking coma) is that when the sign was lit as he was starting his latest round of verbal diarrhea, this clearly showed he is powerless to stop the march, albeit slow, to freedom in Cuba. The point was likely not lost on those attending, however. We should thank maximus stupidus for his unwitting contribution in this regard.
