I never heard this story...This is right out of the Fidel Castro manual.
He was dead for, what, eight years?...before his "death" was announced. His double was unpersuasive - a willowy actor with a quick, innocent smile, so different from Fidel's career poker-face. Think back on what had happened - he'd had a large-intestine fissure, and physicians wanted to do a colostomy. He didn't want it - probably he thought he could still have a sex life.
So he went to some third-world clinic that promised they could sew the fissure up. Medical experts predicted a quick death of sepsis.
And the population was ready to launch a populist regime change; but CLINTOON wasn't ready to have his hero overthrown. So, with signalled support from Washingtoon, the farce began.
Now we're gonna have the same thing - Weekend at Bernie's in McConjob's office.
