"Kenya's government has suspended all live television broadcasts as violence engulfed Nairobi following the re-election of incumbent president Mwai Kibaki."

"A senior official from the Kenyan Television Network said it had been ordered to stop live broadcasts as rioters went on the rampage."

"'This country is going to turn into a war zone,' The Associated Press quoted Kibari resident Elisha Kayugira as saying."

This wouldn’t have happened if Jimmy Carter was there to monitor the results! /sarc :0)

Odinga's party accused the government of "doctoring" the results.

Thanks Algore!

Bobbling in approval perhaps?

Cackling in approval?

He [Kibaki] faced a serious challenge from Odinga, a flamboyant politician who hails from the minority Luo tribe and has won support from rural and urban voters after promising to share the wealth among all the people.

Gee, the leftists are burning and breaking things after they lose an election. What a shocker.

There are uncomfirmed reports across Kenya of pockets of people killed in anti-Kibaki protests. 10 here, 7 there... This could get ugly.

How does Obamama feel about the land of his Daddy.

Although she is politically motivated I just bet that she could bobble and cackle at the same time. (with some help of course)

“Gee, the leftists are burning and breaking things after they lose an election. What a shocker.”

Ahh, the Mexico gambit. IMHO this is always a good time to wipe out the leftists in one fell swoop.
