Chavez Says Castro 'Almost Jogging'
CARACAS, Venezuela --
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Wednesday that his ailing friend Fidel Castro is recovering and has been up and walking - in fact "almost jogging" - in recent days.
"Almost jogging." What a great euphemism for "rapidly approaching room-temperature."
Perhaps the track suit qualifies him as an almost-jogger. Then again, I own a set of knives, but that doesn't make me Mario Batali.
How cruel that after decades of glorious revolutionary rule, the iron-fisted Castro's last days will be spent looking like he borrowed Vanilla Ice's wardrobe.
