Anybody see

Castro bust his ass. OMG, what a blast. While I normally don't make light of another's misfortune I thought it was extremely funny watching that old Commie doing a face plant on the stage. Too bad it was only his knee cap and arm that were broken; I was hoping it would be his neck.

Ken, although I agree totally with your comments, it is a shame he didn't break his neck. I also have to say that at his age "falling down/tripping" isn't unheard of. I did the same thing a few months ago although I didn't break anything. Felt like a fool but it came out of nowhere. Then again, if someone had a camera on me at the time even I would be laughing at it now.

It didn't look like an age thing. He was strutting along and then like a klutz tripped over something and did the nose dive. It was spectacular. Maybe he was predicting Kerry’s success, I don’t know, but a funnier sight I have not seen in a while. If you saw the footage you would be busting a gut, it was PRICELESS

I haven't seen it, but I keep picturing Chevy Chase portraying President Ford falling down...

I saw it!! Fox News ran it about a half hour ago, and it looked like 'ol Fidel missed the last step coming off a raised platform, where he had been orating from behind a podium.

Classic case of not looking where you're putting your foot down.

Would anyone be pizzed if I said it couldn't happen to a nicer guy?

Yeah, he announced that yesterday on his radio show. He had the VP on their last night.

Uh-huh. Let's see if Colmes trips all over himself trying to catch the President on an issue he thinks GW is vulnerable on.

That's his mission in life, I think.
