Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) (AFP) - Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe on Saturday celebrated his 91st birthday with a lavish million dollar bash that was slammed by the opposition as "obscene" in a country wracked by poverty.

Thousands of supporters of the ruling ZANU-PF, many wearing party regalia emblazoned with the president's image, sang and danced as he arrived for the jamboree at a luxury hotel in the famed Victoria Falls resort.

Elephants were slaughtered for the feast and seven huge cakes were on display in one of the tents.

Come on now, who among us hasn't slaughtered an elephant? Anyone?

In an interview marking his birthday, Mugabe admitted he blundered by giving ill-equipped black farmers vast tracts of farmland under his controversial land reforms.

Yup, sorry for murdering all them white folks.

Having done a fair amount of traveling in Africa...including recently...I'm tempted to think I know more about the continent than some Westerners.This story boggles my mind in ways that I can't even explain.The poverty I've seen...the majestic creatures I've seen...*obscene* doesn't even begin to describe Mugabe and his pals.
