HIGH HONOR:
Jeb Bush 'honored' by Castro's jab (Associated Press, 12/06/05)
Gov. Jeb Bush said Tuesday that he was "honored" Cuban President Fidel Castro had referred to him as President Bush's "fat little brother in Florida." [...]"I'm flattered and honored," Bush replied with a smile, but then turned serious.
"I will take any criticism from Fidel Castro, of all people, as an honor given the fact that, you know, 8 million people, I believe, live on the island, 8 million people are repressed and they've been that way for 40 or 50 years," Bush said.
"To be criticized by a man like that who has repressed people for such an extended period of time is a high honor," the governor added. "He can call me whatever he wants."

Fire a single cruise missile into Castro's podium while the senile old cummunist scumbag is in the middle of one of his four hour diatribes, vaporising him and most of his idiot lackies in one blast.
At the press conference later Dubya can say, "Man I thought he'd NEVER shut up!" Hilarity ensues.

When you ponder that "butterfly's wings" business, think about that picture.
