Democrats to Learn Spanish then Speak to Cubans

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

A veritable Magnificent Seven of Democrats from the House of Representatives, the “other” wing of Congress, has secretly arrived in Cuba. The Steven McQueen of the group seems to be a Barbara Lee from California, surprise! Aides to the Congressfolk said Friday that they were hoping to bring back Cigars, free medicine and slaves from the small island nation.

Representative Barbara Lee said the group of seven Democrats came with no messages from President Barack Obama or proposals for the Cubans but simply to “see what the possibilities are.”

“We’re here to learn [Spanish] and [then] talk and to see if there are any issues we need to communicate back to our government,” she told reporters.

Come! See Beautiful Cuba!

Oh joy! Now we can all go smell Cuba - the rotting, maggot-infested carrion of Communism.

A group of senators and other supporters will unveil a bill Tuesday to lift the 47-year-old travel ban to Cuba.

Proponents of lifting the ban have been trying for years but lacked the votes in Congress or a president who supported the measure. Now, with Democrats holding majorities in both houses of Congress and controlling the White House, supporters said they believe their chance is at hand.

“Seems to me when you have a policy that has failed for five decades, you ought to take a look at it again and see if you should modify it,” said Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-North Dakota, one of the bill’s sponsors. “We allow Americans travel to Vietnam and China, both communist countries.”
