Here's a nifty little roundup of news with an interesting defense of George Bush, as one of the most truthful Presidents ever, a statement you will never see in the New York Times. But the guy has a point, Bush has always told the truth, at least as he sees it. And the particular case the author is referring to involves a speech about Cuba. Bush basically backs up the claims made by many Cuban dissidents that when the communist regime there finally falls and the real story of what happened behind the "Castro Curtain" comes out, current defenders will feel the same way they felt about Stalin; duped.

With the sheer number of horrid stories that have come out from Cuba over the years, it's hard to believe Castro has any defenders, but your typical left winger, especially of the celebrity sort, has been enamored with the guy for decades. One wonders if they will admit they were wrong when the truth does come out? Even if they do, that won't stop the same folks from worshiping the next totalitarian dictator who touts a worker's paradise. Somehow they never mention the deaths, imprisonments, and other restrictions on freedom.
