Good God! Sheesus H. Keerist! Put the fucking kid on a row boat with a Chevy V-8 for power and lock the GPS on a direct course to China. The American press must be the most bored bunch of moronic nimrods walking the planet Earth! 60 days straight headlines about the little curtain climber!

It's handy for hiding events like what's happening to the Stock Market if the press focuses on Elian. It's better than Klintoon having to start a war, although that may be what he is up to here, as well.

-- Flash (flash@flash.hq), April 14, 2000.

Elian, unfortunately, has been made a pawn in this whole circus. His mother was desperately trying to escape a totalitarian society and risked both their lives to escape it. Now, the politicos are afraid of pissing off their buddy Fidel, and using the boy as a football. He should be allowed to stay with his relatives in Miami and that should be the end of it.

-- liu (lookitup@dictionary.com), April 14, 2000.

So let him stay? Why should we? People were moaning before because his father would not come and see him.

Now he has been here for how long? And he Still has not seen his boy.

Somebody else said on another thread that what if one of us went to another country and because they didnt like the great satan, same ordeal.

Would that make it right? No. I wish people would put themselves in the place of a parent instead of worrying about who is the dad, what Janet Reno is up to, the media, and etc.

The video. Said it all. The child is being lavished with gifts, media attention, and now is being prompted to say he does not wish to go back.

Sad, I agree with who said it takes away from other issues.

Frankly, I am tired of hearing about it, hope the father gets his son soon and they all board the plane and put the mess to bed, so the media can find something else to BORE us with.

We need to tell Fidel to shove a box of cigars where it will do the most good. Let's honor Elian's mother's wish and sacrifice.

-- Flash (flash@flash.hq), April 14, 2000.

In case you forgot what he looked like...

-- Uncle Bob (unclb0b@aol.com), April 14, 2000.

How in the world do you think we could forget what he looked like?

Give me a break.

Nice pic, but plenty of that on tv dontcha think?

Let him see his dad. His dad. His dad.

Boswell, Good rant. I agree with every word. Anyone using this thread as yet another place where every asshole can have an opinion about what should happen to the "little curtain climber" needs to volunteer to let the government use their head for wind tunnel testing.

Flash,

I don't think that Miss Lewinski (sp) cares to go to cuba to play hide the cigar. I think that her cigar days are over.

Uncle Bob,

What's the point of the photo?

That a cute, photogenic six-year-old illegal alien is more deserving of being separated from his/her only surviving parent in order to be admitted to the U.S. custody of well-organized, media-savvy more-distant relatives than non-cute, non-photogenic illegal aliens who don't have a set of well-organized media-savvy U.S. resident relatives?

No Spam Please, What's the point of your question?

A joke is a joke is a joke is a joke...back away from the monitor and take a deep breath. Remember, nothing I post is serious. Everything I post is done with tongue in cheek. Some of you get it and some of you don't....

Or....

Elian is the Chosen One...a super-Jesus...be careful what you say...

Smokes,

I was thinking of shoving them, box and all, up one of Fidel's appropriate orfices! Followed quickly by a boot!!!

-- Flash (flash@flash.hq), April 14, 2000.

Uncle Bob,

Read mine again with tongue in cheek.

-- No Spam Please (nos_pam_please@hotmail.com), April 14, 2000.

Im sick and tired of hearing about this kid!sickofitsickofitsickofit! put him on a slow boat to cuba already!

-- ed (edrider007@aol.com), April 14, 2000.

I am sick to death of those Cuban-Americans with their defiant, in-your-face attitude. If any non-Cuban American pulled the shit they've been pulling, they'd be in jail so quick their heads would swim.

-- gilda (jess@listbot.com), April 15, 2000.

Instead of just sending Eliane back to cuba by himself, send a couple of illegal aliens from mexico or china back with him might as well fill the boat.

-- Bosco (eliane@cuba.com), April 15, 2000.

Gilda,

Politicos suck up to the Cuban-Americans because they think that they need Miami to win Florida, and Florida to win the White House.

Bill and Janet are lame ducks, so they are immune. Why do you think Al Bore came out against sending him back?

Janet Reno, the butt-ugly bitch,

Does appear on TV as a witch,

Grab the kid from those assholes,

Send him back to old Castro,

The Cubans are all getting rich!
