Se hizo justicia


Impresionante. Por un mensaje de Víctor me entero de que la ciudad de Nueva York va a inaugurar una estatua de Fidel Castro en el Central Park el 8 de noviembre. Me imagino que la siguiente es una de bin Laden en el baldío donde estaban las Torres Gemelas. El pelotudismus extremis no reconoce fronteras:

"Useful Idiocy" simply wont do. American Castrophilia requires a term all it's own. No tribute that Walter Duranty, Roger Baldwin, Dashiel Hammet, Albert Einstein, Woody Guthrie, Paul Robeson, or even Franklin Delano Roosevelt lavished on Stalin approaches Ted Turner's, Harry Belafonte's, Jesse Jackson's, Norman Mailer's, Charlie Rangel's and those multitude of other plaudits to Fidel Castro.

A monument heralding Hitler in Warsaw, London or Rotterdam would make more sense. Had the wishes of the man commemorated in that Central Park statue prevailed, Central Park itself might still be radioactive, and the charred remains of New York residents Charlie Rangel (who specializes in passionate bear-hugs of Castro) and Norman Mailer (who hails Castro as "the Hemisphere's greatest hero!") would fit in a milk carton.
