Then CUBANS spread his articles throughout Havana's Social register, whose members, almost en masse, twittered with UTTER DELIGHT AT WHAT MATTHEWS WROTE...never mind what many of them claimed from exile four years later.

Contemptible bastards. Pictures really are worth a thousand words. That photo says it all: the Chumpmaster and the chump.
