Invincible

"This is Wolf Blitzer, and you're watching CNN. And now, for the latest insight into the nascent Presidental race, we go to our newest political correspondent, Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro. Nice to have you here, Mr. Castro."

"Nice to be here, Wolf. And please, it's Fidel."

"So Fidel, we're still several months before the Iowa caucus, and no one's dropping out of the race yet, but political pundits have been speculating that a Hillary Clinton-Barack Obama ticket would give the Democrats the best chance to win the general election. Your thoughts?"

"Well Wolf, I'd first like to say that I'm disappointed because both of them feel the sacred duty of demanding 'a democratic government in Cuba.' They are not making politics: they are playing a game of cards on a Sunday afternoon. That being said however, I do think that the two of them on one ticket would be invincible. The Republicans would have a very hard time matching that sort of star power."

"Interesting. Now, Al Gore hasn't yet entered the race, but several observers think he might declare late in the game. Do you think he will?"

"I don't think he will do so, although I must say that Gore, better than anyone, knows about the kind of catastrophe that awaits humanity if it continues along its current course. Of course, when he was a candidate, he committed the error of yearning for 'a democratic Cuba,' which is just one more example of how the US is hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma that perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society."

"Thanks for your insight, Fidel. We'll talk to you again as the primaries get closer."

"Thanks for having me, Wolf. Have a good night."
