Castro Backs Violent Overthrow of 700 Club

[kweerwolf]

Cuban president Fidel Castro announced in Havana today that his government is backing a violent overthrow of "The 700 Club," the long-running television program hosted by controversial preacher Pat Robertson.

At a press conference in Havana, the Cuban president said that he was authorizing a flotilla of speedboats carrying Cuban spies to head for the United States to orchestrate the overthrow of "The 700 Club."

While Mr. Castro was sketchy about the details of the plot, calling them "super-secret," an insider familiar with the plan said that it involves Cuban spies infiltrating Mr. Robertson's production staff and audience and then staging an armed revolt during a broadcast of the program.

"We'll wait until Pat Robertson is distracted, probably when he's getting all worked up about gay marriage or something, and then we'll strike," the insider said.

OK ... before anyone gets too excited, Andy Borowitz (the author) writes a daily humor column. As pleasing as the thought may be to contemplate Castro plotting a coup de imbecile at the 700 Club, it's only a joke!
