Castro picks Hillary.

Ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro is tipping Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to team up and win the U.S. presidential election.
…
“The word today is that an apparently unbeatable ticket could be Hillary for president and Obama as her running mate,” he wrote in an editorial column on U.S. presidents published on Tuesday by Cuba’s Communist Party newspaper, Granma.

Why is it that dictators always prefer the Democrats? Is this embarrassing to Democratic voters?

The best part is here though :

He said his favorite U.S. president since 1959 was Jimmy Carter, another Democrat, because he was not an “accomplice” to efforts to violently overthrow the Cuban government.

Hehe, good old Jimmah, never met a dictator he didn’t like. We’re still paying for his mistakes.

Of course, all this assumes that Castro is actually still alive and wrote that editorial, which to me is a matter of some doubt. But if he’s not dead, his successor would still prefer the Democrats, of that I have zero doubt.

UPDATE: This cartoon is hilarious!
