Del Toro Turns Into Del Burro When Confronted About the REAL Che
Marlen González of channel 41 Miami interviewed Benicio del Toro about his movie, "Che," and asked him point blank why the "real che" was not shown. Del Toro simply could not answer and became visibly agitated, squirming and asking for a quote to be repeated. She came right out and asked him if che was an assassin. Del Burro did not miss a beat and said "No." Other gems- he doesn't think that all Cubans feel the same way about che, his answer to a comparison of Hitler with che was that he did not have concentration camps like Hitler but he did believe in the death penalty. El tartamudo said that the people che killed were terrorists of the Batista government and when Marlen said that 90% of those people were actually prisoners of conscience who opposed castro's regime, he said he did not know that and asked her where she got that information. She said it was historically documented and in Argentina, too. Later, she handed him a copy of "Guevara, Misionero de la Violencia" by Pedro Corzo!
Enjoy the whole wriggly think here.

Thanks to Jorge Barroso, who is now officially in love with Marlen.
Marlen takes del Burro to the woodshed, with class, style, substance, and dulcet tones. What's not to love?

This guy is a complete asshole!
Benicio del Toro is the Puerto Rican Sean Penn. Tremendo boniato.
wow i want to marry her
Kudos to Marlen for a great job! As to Del Toro, unfortunately, superior intelligence and deep scholarship appear to be impediments to an acting career, these days - so he'll go far!
mulatica,
You're right about Benicio del Toro being the Puerto Rican Sean Penn.
Just that I think that instead of a boniato he's just an ASSHOLE, period.
EHHHHHHHHHH??
UMMMMMMMMMM??
OHHHHHHHHHH??
What is this -- Beavis and Butthead?!?
J- This guy makes Beavis AND Butthead look good.
I wonder if he has finished reading the book Marlen gave him.
Beautiful! God, I wish that interview would have also been done in English!
I doubt del Burro can read Spanish. She should've given him Humberto Fontova's book, whose title applies perfectly to del Burro, _Exposing the Real Che Guevara, And the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him_.
