FONTOVA: Strike two for Ozzie Guillen

Marlins manager picked wrong town to go to bat for Fidel Castro

“You people are the cream of the crop!” beamed the mass murderer to the smiling throng that surrounded him.

In an interview with Men’s Journal back in 2008, Ozzie Guillen spoke fondly of Fidel Castro: “Everywhere he goes, they roll out the red carpet. I don’t admire his philosophy; I admire him.”

But Mr. Guillen was in Chicago then, managing the White Sox. Same Ozzie Guillen, same Fidel Castro, similar comment - but much different ticket-buyers.

Humberto Fontova is author of “Fidel: Hollywood’s Favorite Tyrant” (Regnery, 2005).
