Ozzie speaks (and eyes roll)
While I'm on the subject of dipshittery being spouted by famous people, check out what Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen - who seems to fancy himself a Latin Yogi Berra - had to say about Fidel Castro in the October 2008 Men's Journal:
"He's a bullshit dictator and everybody's against him, and he still survives, has power. Still has a country behind him. Everywhere he goes they roll out the red carpet. I don't admire his philosophy. I admire him."
You know, a feller could also say that Kim Jong-il, Robert Mugabe, and Muammar al-Gaddafi "have countries behind" them and regularly have red carpets rolled out for them. That's because, just like Castro, they run totalitarian regimes that tolerate no dissent and expect 100 percent cooperation from the citizenry.
Methinks ol' Ozz needs to enroll in a college-level class on third-world dictatorships. He also needs a sock for his mouth.
