I smell a rat... his reappointment will be interesting. Will it have to be a Cuban replacing him? Or at least someone sufficiently pro-embargo. That is a given.

yeah, it'll be interesting to see what will happen next.
maybe he's' going on tour with the other quitter, sarah what's her name.

you wouldn't think the replacement would be worse, but then in flordia anything is possible.
oh well, we can always hope for some reality.
