Radio Mambi and the other right-wing wacko exile radio stations are abuzz today. Like they did after he fainted a few years ago under a hot sun, Miami will be speculating when el Commandante will die. LOL This has been going on for decades.

"...Demonstrating he hadn't lost his focus, he noted the fact reporters from around the world had witnessed the fall.
