Embattled White House Latin American Czar Che Guevara Quits

CheWASHINGTON – President Barack Obama’s Latin American adviser Ernesto “Che” Guevara, who became embroiled in controversy over his association with world revolution, has resigned his White House job after what he calls a “vicious smear campaign against me.”

The resignation came just days after Mr. Guevara was forced to issue public apologies for causing the Cuban Missile Crisis, advocating world revolution, and ordering the wholesale murder of innocent men and boys who opposed the Castro regime in Cuba. 

“I am sorry if my conduct has offended anyone,” Mr. Guevara wrote last week.

But his apology was deemed “too little, too late” by Republican leaders who pressed for his resignation. 

Howard Dean, former head of the Democratic National Committee, told Fox News that Guevara “was brought down by this television network” and that his resignation was “a great loss to the country.”

White House insiders, speaking on condition of anonymity, blamed a rushed vetting process for selecting Mr. Guevara to the post without adequately learning about his past. 

“I suppose we should have at least Googled his name,” said one.
