Mixed in with the commentary on the Saturday primaries on CNN was a short "human interest" blurb. The talking head, part of a carefully selected line-up that looks like America, said by way of introduction: "Some folks like working on their cars on the weekend. Other folks like working on their boats. Here's a guy who did both at the same time..." After a smarmy grin, the screen cut to a shot of the latest group of Cubans risking their lives to escape a dictatorship in a converted car. Yep, there's just nothing funnier that refugees from Communism.
And the next time someone on CNN takes aim at George W. Bush for his malapropisms or mispronunciations, I hope they recall that throughout the televised address from National Military University this afternoon, they spelt the North African country "Lybia."
