Olympic Update
Che Guevara makes Olympic debut, thanks to Venezuela:
'It was a game between countries who are friends,' said Cuban-born Venezuela coach Tomas Fernandez. 'Although, as Ernesto Guevara said, 'Friendship ends where duty starts.' And we are representing the Venezuelan people here,' Fernandez told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa, with reference to the Argentine-born Cuban revolutionary hero.He admitted that the game was hard.
'Cuba is our master, our guide,' Fernandez explained.
He was talking about volleyball, although the phrase could have suited socialist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez when talking about the communist island led for close to half-a-century by Fidel and Raul Castro.

If this asshole was really an idiot at least he'd have an excuse. I'm afraid he's just an abject lackey and contemptible tool.
