And a Merry Christmas to you too, Raul!

Welcome to the NBC Comedy Hour! Tonight, we present a new skit from Raul Castro entitled, "He ain't heavy, he's my (colostomy bag wearin', up-for-reelection) brother!"

Fidel Castro remains on the mend, gaining weight, exercising twice a day and continuing to help make the Cuban government's top decisions, his brother Raul Castro says.

The island's acting president gave the first clues about his brother's health in weeks, saying during a Monday speech that he has a "healthier mentality, full use of his mental faculties with some small physical limitations."

[...]

But the younger Castro said his brother remains a key voice in government and that Communist Party leaders support his re-election to Cuba's parliament, the National Assembly — a move that could allow Fidel Castro to keep his post as president of the Council of State.

"We consult him on principal matters, that is why we the leaders of the party defend his right to run again as deputy of the National Assembly as a first step," Raul Castro said.

Though Fidel Castro's condition and even his exact illness are state secrets, he has officially retained his post atop Cuba's supreme governing body, the Council of State.

[...]

Through daily exercise, Fidel "has recovered a lot of weight and muscle mass," he said, speaking to voters in Fidel's voting district in Santiago, an eastern city where the brothers spent part of their youth. He said Fidel asked him to visit voters and trump up support for him because he was unable to personally.

Of course he did! Through a channeler or did you have to get up real close to get the message? This is the funniest shit I've read in months. Almost as funny as Hillary's flip-flop on illegal immigrant driver licenses...

You'd think with his new bionic ass hole, fidel could show up to a small rally or two. I'm beginning to think he doesn't love the people anymore.

Just letting you know that in today's El Nuevo Herald they actually stated that king castro I has been suffering from an intestinal crisis or "crisis intestinal", downright funny at this time in the game.
