He looks sweet. He looks so nice and innocent. What could he possibly do?
It's like seeing Hitler when he was caught trying to overthrow the government and used the prison time to write "Mein Kampf".
Quien es mas macho… Fidel Castro, o… Ricardo Montalban?
What he really wanted was to play beisbol….
….ruthless dictator was plan "B".
I find it very interesting that most if not all DICTATORS have a long history of criminal activity, The Fresh Prince Of Bill Ayers included…
Gee, I wonder if he put out while in the clink.
Fidel looks like he should be frequenting Castro street under the name… Senor Poof. Instead of the Bloody Monster of Cuba that he really is.
Well, he does have that oral fixation with "cigars"…
Hmm, "3859" – gotta play that number tonite…
The position of "catcher", I assume!!!
Perhaps, what Monica was to Slick Willy… Fidel was to Che.
Did "soap on a rope" exist in '53?
I always thought the reason why he always wore the beard was because of how ugly his face was. He had absolutely no chin.
Montalban fue mas suave. Castro es mas matadoroso.
Warholized? I'd rather see him embalmed.
I noticed the same thing immediately. Weak chin — small hands — low testosterone — small unit. The beard covers this all up.
… but only after they drive a stake through his tiny, little heart.
Anyone else notice a striking resemblance to that dimwit John Leguizamo?
Senor Robert Stack.
I still says Che has the commie t-shirt market locked up with his ugly mug.
Se~or, Por Favor
El Se~or Castro aparece ser una mariposa llameante
es triste
Looks like the guy that delivers my newspaper. I should be worried?
New T-shirt!
far out , anyone know where i can get that t-shirt? preferably with a few words mentioning how their government run healthcare is top notch, barring that can i least get michael moore's picture instead. unless that is nicholas turturro, than forget it.
THIS IS TOO SWEET! EXCEPT FOR THE HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS!

Castro is a pig.
Some people talk about putting "lipstick on a pig."
There you go!
Gracias!
Like Heinrich Himmler.
Nope, he was a pitcher. Sadly, not a good one, or the people of Cuba would've been spared a lot of misery.
We could print that image on toilet paper.
What a great idea!
Looks like a wanted poster for a ____________(fill in the blank) deviant.
That's exactly what I was thinking!!! So that's what lipstick on a pig looks like. Aaah ya beat me to it, cheers mate!!!!
i enjoyed most the comments.
fidel castro aint no dictator… he simply rose up against one that was actually a puppet being controlled by foreign investors, he just didnt care cuz he sold out…. mater fact…HAHAHAHAHa the councel on foreign relashions today isnt the cutest thing. MI FIDELSITO IS MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL hehehehe.
patria y paz
patria and peace…
He would be welcome there for sure.
I think Fidel was passed around the cell block like a bowl of grits. No wonder he was so pissed off……
What's the story with Fiats–ya just like 'wrenchin?"
I do, Kevin, and once you have one well sorted out – as my '81 X1/9 is – you know the real pleasure of driving a "driver's car". I find it more fun to drive than the '07 350Z that I also commute to the office in.
Cheers!
Garantizado.
No es triste–es tipical. Cobardes.
