Fidel Castro took a bad spill during a graduation ceremony in Cuba. A State Department spokesman, Richard Boucher, made these comments in an exchange with reporters:

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?

Boucher: No.


Priceless. (You can read the entire press briefing at http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/dpb/2004/37313.htm)
