Charlie Crist's new friends

Fidel Castro on Monday:

"The hatred felt by the state of Israel against the Palestinians is such that they would not hesitate to send the 1 ½ million men, women and children of that country to the crematoria where millions of Jews of all ages were exterminated by the Nazis," Castro said. "It would seem that the Fuehrer's swastika is today Israel's banner," he said, referencing Adolf Hitler.

News from the Crist senate campaign on Monday:

As the Republican governor of Florida, Charlie Crist backed U.S. sanctions against Cuba and signed a state law hiking costs on agencies that book trips to the repressive regime.

But as a newly independent candidate for the U.S. Senate, Crist is slated to collect checks from some of the same people who successfully fought to overturn the law last year and who advocate opening a dialogue with Cuba.

. . . The Obama administration lifted virtually all restrictions on Cuban Americans' travel to the island last year, overturning a Bush administration ruling that had limited their trips to once every three years.

Crist said Monday . . . "I think the current policy in place is responsible . . . allowing families to visit [Cuba] is compassionate."

. . . as a newly independent candidate for the U.S. Senate, Crist is slated to collect checks from some of the same people who . . . advocate opening a dialogue with Cuba.
