Elian on CNN and the idiots in Miami

i'm watching some of the CNN documentary on Elian and everything that happened back then.

i was reminded of how much i couldn't stand that miami family with the idiot marisleysis and the criminal uncles and cousins.

and that stupid fisherman donato who actually wasn't a fisherman but it was his cousin who was the real fisherman and saved elian and he thought elian should go to his dad.

With giant gold chains, etc.

There's a new feature film about Elian that just premiered and people in Miami on the progressive side are giving it high marks

amazing how the hysteria grew - it really was getting out of control. That family just loved all the attention. Janet Reno kept a level head.
