McCain Can't Wait for Fidel Castro to Die

John McCain recently made it clear that he hopes Fidel Castro leaves the planet earth as soon as possible, and never comes back.

In a somewhat tacky comment, McCain - after an argument with Clinton and Obama on the best way to drive changes in Cuba - said about Castro, "I hope he has the opportunity to meet Karl Marx very soon." Karl Marx, author of "The Communist Manifesto", died in 1883.

McCain - like many - strongly believes that no substantial reforms will be made in Cuba until Castro dies. Maybe so, but wishing for his death really is in poor taste.
