No

I often have negative comments about the State Department, so I must, in fairness, report when I hear something good from them:

QUESTION: Did you hear that Castro fell?

MR. BOUCHER: We heard that Castro fell. There are, I think, various reports that he broke a leg, an arm, a foot, and other things, and I'd guess you'd have to check with the Cubans to find out what's broken about Mr. Castro. We, obviously, have expressed our views about what's broken in Cuba.

QUESTION: Do you wish him a speedy recovery?

MR. BOUCHER: No.

Awesome!

May Castro break his neck next time he falls. Of course, once he has his head put in an evil robot body, this won’t matter as much...

The BBC had a photo online of Castro laying on the stage. He looked like one of the toppled Saddam statues.

Richard Boucher, the spokesman, is humorous and has offered up many good quotes.
