Miami's "battle of the titans" reaches the small screen

The looming matchup between Republican Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart and rival Democrat Raul Martinez has already been billed as a battle of the Cuban-American titans.

Now it's being paid fitting tribute in a mash-up video that lampoons the expected slugfest. The nearly 2-minute long YouTube video splices together interviews of the two combatative pols with movie clips, portraying them as brawling boxers, bawling babies, sharks and sequined ice skaters.

It ends with a shot of a track-suited Fidel Castro who notes in a phony voiceover, "The one who ends up winning is me."

What Lincoln says is true. Martinez was convicted and never acquitted of extorsion, racketeering and corruption. He takes Banana Republic to a whole new level. Could you imagine what an embarassment to have that guy in DC? Wow.
