GOP ‘Appalled’ Over Obama Granting Castro’s Daughter Visa, Ignores Trips Under Bush

[Tx4obama]

-snip-

If it’s “longstanding U.S. foreign policy” to deny Mariela Castro a visa to enter the U.S., someone forgot to tell President George W. Bush. The Bush administration granted Castro not one but three visas to enter the U.S. in 2001 and 2002. State Department spokesman William Ostick told the Miami Herald:

Mariela Castro visited once in 2001 and twice in 2002. I can’t discuss her visas specifically, but you can assume she needed one to travel.

5. Republicans will get butt-hurt over ANYTHING, real or imagined

What's puzzling is why the popular media feel obliged to run their every temper tantrum.

6. wait a minute ... twice in 2002?

Weren't we still claiming that Fidel was in league with the terrorists then?

And isn't "a daughter" (or some relative) about as guilty (or giving guilt to a person), according to the logic of the patriotic psychosis of the post 9/11 era?
