Meanwhile: The Knockout Punch that Woke Up the UN

[robertpaulsen]

Did anyone hear about this happening last week? Apparently the Cuban diplomat knocked out the American diplomat because the American diplomat was a little too vociferous in lobbying for the Commission on Human Rights to adopt a resolution condemning Cuba for its record. You've got to read this!

1. Unconscious??? What a hoot.

And what hypocrisy on our part.

2. ROTFL -- I bet the guy gets a medal back home in Cuba

but I'm certain that Fidel would have liked to deliver it himself. Being Canadian, and shall we say "very good" friends with Cuba this story will live for some time in de Nord.

3. This is hilarious!!! But you can see how the US is hated? Everybody

was glad that the Cuban slugged the American...even though they recognize that Cuba is not a country of Angels.

4. Hilarious, and here's a little snip.

I can't believe they did this. LOL (really)

"Unofficially, the Cuban delegates grumbled that the Americans had been pompous and obnoxious for most of the commission's six-week session. They were cruising for a bruising, and when one of the Americans taunted the Cubans after the resolution was passed - he got it."
