We get asked a lot why we "hate" Tomas Regalado so much.
Hate is a strong word, and we are not motivated by negativity. But if we have to point out to one thing, it's the constant hypocrisy he exhibits.
We don't "hate" any person, but we do "hate" hypocrisy.
If Tomas Regalado woke up tomorrow morning and admitted he is a corrupt bastard that lied about Manny Diaz and Joe Carollo for years just so he could make a career as a politician, we'd respect him and leave him alone.
That won't happen.
Instead, Regalado is the first one to condemn others while engaging in activity that is far worse than anything he ever criticized.
Case in point:
Check out the latest Crespo Gram Report. Check out the picture of Tomasito hanging out with Sean Penn at a Miami Heat basketball game.
Before we continue, major kudos to Al for once again breaking stories that the Herald Press Office won't touch with a ten foot pole. Were it not for Al, these stories would never see the light of day.
Tomasito is at the Heat game cavorting and taking pictures with Sean Penn. As you can see above, Sean Penn loves to be photographed with two of Miami's favorite people, Castro and Chavez.
Now think about this for one second...
Tomas Regalado made a career on Spanish language radio and TV calling anyone a Communist who would even dare deviate from the hard line anti-Castro/Chavez stance.
When the City of Miami was negotiating with Shangri La Hotels to build a hotel on Watson Island, Regalado came to the forefront to oppose the deal, saying Miami should not give away public land to the Communist Chinese and that Shangri La does business in Cuba.
And yet, Tomasito has lunch and parties with the Chinese Consul general, calling for closer ties with the Communist government.
When Cuban band "Los Van Van" wanted to perform in Miami, and Gloria Estefan dared say it may be a good idea, Tomas Regalado blasted her for being Communist, calling los Van Van a propaganda arm of the Cuban government. Tomas also opposed the Latin Grammies in Miami because Los Van Van may perform.
And yet, Tomasito can watch basketball with Sean Penn, who has interviewed both Castro and Chavez to tell the world what great guys they both are.
Now think for another moment, had Manny Diaz or Joe Carollo hung out with Sean Penn, or the Chinese Consul general, or Jose Prado, what would Tomas Regalado have said?
Would he say it is part of normal mayoral duties to meet and greet these folks?
Or would Tomas been the first to loudly criticize for hanging out with commies and commie sympathizers?
We all know the answer to that.
And that's what we hate most about Tomasito...
His complete and perfect hypocrisy.
I was there telling Sean Penn how bad Castro is.
