All politics is local. If it wasn?t, these comments Ozzie Guillen made in 2008 to Rick Telander in a Men?s Journal interview would have been pounced on then. But since Guillen was not representing Miami back then, Telander notes, it went virtually unnoticed:
I asked him this: ?Who?s the toughest man you know???
His response, which took me by surprise: ?Fidel Castro.??
Why?
?He?s a bull?- dictator and everybody?s against him, and he still survives, has power. Still has a country behind him,?? Ozzie replied. ?Everywhere he goes, they roll out the red carpet. I don?t admire his philosophy; I admire?him.??
It?s the same thing he said to Time. Maybe a bit more of a ?don?t agree with his policies? disclaimer, but the same sentiment. And if he made it in Miami, boy howdy, would that have been trouble.
