She *claims* it's a fake. I dunno...it sure looks pretty damn authentic.

Florida congresswoman pans video clip

A congresswoman says a video clip showing her calling for Fidel Castro's assassination footage is fake, though she adds that she wouldn't mourn the Cuban leader's death.

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (news, bio, voting record), R-Fla., appears in the 28-second clip being circulated on the Internet by the makers of a new British documentary, "638 Ways to Kill Castro."

In it, she says: "I welcome the opportunity of having anyone assassinate Fidel Castro and any leader who is oppressing the people."

<SNIP>

Still, she said it was possible she has, at some point, mentioned Castro's potential assassination.

"If someone were to do it, I wouldn't be crying," she said.

2. She's actually saying that she's not the woman in the clip saying this?
We're 22 years out from 1984, but sheesh.

3. Just where does the GOP dredge up such creatures?
Ros-Lehtinen is batshit insane - a sociopath and about 75% divorced from the everyday reality of 'normal' people. I think when Reagan closed the asylums, the GOP recruited the more 'trainable' fascist knuckle-draggers.
