Not that it surprised anyone, but how, well, unMandela-like, was that knee-jerk response by South Florida Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen to President Barack Obama’s handshake with Raúl Castro before the president gave his Nelson Mandela eulogy in Johannesburg? She called the gesture, among other things, “nauseating.”
How ironic. Mandela was the very personification of reconciliation. Actually, how nauseating of Ros-Lehtinen.
