It was offensive to Bush, mostly.
[It also misidentified the uniform involved, which I'm pretty sure was some kind of police special ops. The military wasn't involved in the Elian grab (which I also firmly believe was the right thing to do -- for reasons I aired thoroughly at the time.)]

There was a thing on NPR a few weeks ago, when it looked like Castro was about to kick the bucket, about the Cuban Americans feelings about relationships with Cuba. They tended in the past to be hardliners about the embargo. A lot of them were shocked that they'd misjudged the Elian Gonzales situation so badly and that the rest of the country was insistant that we put aside politics for the sake of a little boy and his father.
Course, pissed off Cubans who voted for Bush probably are to be thanked for Florida's being such a close race in 2000, so Penske's love for the boy is understandable.
ET fix mixed metaphor for death.
