No kidding... (Updated)

The castroite press is reporting:

Havana, June 29 (AIN) The visit by Cuban President Fidel Castro to Venezuela to participate in the First Energy Meeting of the Caribbean Heads of State, PetroCaribe, is being widely covered by the Venezuelan and foreign press.

No kidding, castro shills. So let's take a look at what that foreign press says:

BLOOMBERG reports that the summit was a miserable failure because castro turned up. His appearance repelled Barbados and Trinidad whose leaders could barely stand to be in the same room with the Beast.

DANIEL IN YARACUY in two remarkable posts, calls it disgusting and pathetic, notes the Dominican Republic and cites recent history and forecasts the blackmail nature of this venture doomed to failure. He was right.

INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY says it was all about castro blackmailing the Dominican Republic. And they'll probably ship Cuban doctors too - as this BLOOMBERG quote also suggests: ...seeking to foster energy and social development, Ramirez said.

REUTERS reports that Chavez got angry a lot about a lot of things.

XINHUA reports that castro hurled the word 'crazy' around a lot and then the bearded market genius forecast oil at $150 a barrel. What an ass.

Maybe the castroite press shouldn't announce this kind of coverage of castro too loudly, it gives us too many horselaughs.

UPDATE: For the final punchline, the castroite press is now bitching about all the press coverage it's getting. What did these clowns expect?

Heh! heh!


Havana, Jun 30 (AIN) The presence of Cuban President Fidel Castro at the Caribbean energy summit that concluded on Wednesday even made headlines in Venezuela’s right-wing newspapers.

Media that usually ignore events of local and international importance promoted by the government of Hugo Chavez, had ignored the summit until Wednesday, when the arrival in Venezuela of Fidel Castro was featured on the front page of El Nacional newspaper.

El Nacional ran an article titled “Fidel Shows Up at Energy Summit in Puerto La Cruz.”
