Chance meeting results in stupidity
September 8, 2000 | 2:06 amDuring this week’s Millennium Summit, Big Willie Style and Fidel Castro had a chance encounter in which they shook hands and engaged in a little small talk. Now the anti-Castro brigade is crying foul..that shaking Castro’s hand is a sign of support for him and the White House staff is doing their regular song-n-dance…first saying there was no handshake, but later admitting there was one.
Anti-Castro people: Put your hatred for Castro aside for two seconds and realise that an unexpected meeting which results in a handshake and light banter is called common courtesy, not Fidelistic support. Go drink some herbal tea and calm the fuck down.
White House Staff: Grow a fucking backbone! There was no need to test the political breeze to see how this should be handled. Say there was a handshake and light banter and be done with it.
