Lefty Dems Pay Homage to Castro

This cast of characters certainly doesn't surprise me:

Former Cuban President Fidel Castro was "very engaging, very energetic," U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee, a California Democrat, said following a congressional delegation's meeting with the ailing revolutionary.

The delegation that traveled to Cuba featured six members of the Congressional Black Caucus and Rep. Mike Honda, D-Calif., and they returned to Washington late Tuesday afternoon and urged the United States government to begin steps to alter its relationship with Cuba.

"For the past 50 years, the United States has been swimming in the Caribbean Sea of delusion," said Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., who described the United States as "the isolated nation" compared to European countries which have diplomatic ties with Havana.

"This is the dawning of a new day," Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., declared. "Fifty years of foolishness is over. It's time for the children to sit in the corner and the adults to take over."

Barbara Lee is just plain nuts, and Bobby Rush was a found of the Black Panthers. And they call themselves the adults?

These people went to Cuba to kiss Castro's ring (and probably his hindquarters) and will now do their best to bring the wonders of Cuban-style government to the U.S.
