Excerpt -

President Robert Mugabe today accused the US ambassador to Zimbabwe of political interference and threatened to expel him from the southern African nation.

"He says he fought in Vietnam, but fighting in Vietnam does not give him the right to interfere in our domestic affairs. I am just waiting to see if he makes one more step wrong. He will get out," Mugabe said in a campaign rally. "As tall as he is, if he continues to do that I will kick him out of the country."

Mugabe also said the State Department's top diplomat for Africa, Jendayi Frazer, behaved like a prostitute for suggesting that Zimbabwe's opposition Movement for Democratic Change and its leader Morgan Tsvangirai had won the March 29 elections.

"You saw this little American girl trotting around like a prostitute celebrating that the MDC had won. A disgraceful act," Mugabe said.

Nice guy huh.....

[rockrr]

I guess we’re not being sufficiently servile and subservient. Don’t worry - Obeyme will fix that...

[mathurine]

Maybe Barack can reason with him.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Barack won’t do or say anything.

[crazyhorse691]

We just need to sit down and dialogue with him until he repents of his evvvil ways...that's the ticket.

[purpleraine]

RM is right. Only he has the right to interfere in their domestic afairs. How ‘bout that election Bob and Jimmuh!

[purpleraine]

Maybe McCain will appoint BO ambassador to Zimbabwe.

This reaction probably has to do with an incident with Amb James McGhee who had his convoy stop while investigating a torture camp by a police blockade. The police officer threatened to beat up Amb. McGhee's aide. The US Amb got out and stood in the way of the police car which actually did hit his legs. Amb McGhee jumped up onto the hood of the cop car and his aide took the keys out of the cop car ignition. Our people were demanding the cops name and ID . The Amb convoy did get to pass. This was a confrontation that Mugabe police thug lost.

Jendaya Frazer. Will she sit still after being called a "prostitute" by this head of state? Will anyone call for an apology?

[crazyhorse691]

Maybe McCain will appoint BO ambassador to Zimbabwe.

There is nothing wrong with Mugabe — he’s simply a “typical African Dictator”...

It’s racist to condemn him or poke fun at the %&*$%^..

We SHOULD be poking .45 cal holes in the racist murderous thug..

Africa will never achieve respect or self sufficiency so long as *&^&*%&*&^ like this are allowed to lead and speak for Africa....

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I say we recall the ambassador and end all aid & taxpayer money to that feceshole, and let it stew in their own juices.

[RC2]

Go for it. Then cut off all aid. It might save some of our tax dollars that we give to dictators. These people need to learn to stand or fall on their own. We need to re-teach our own people this also.

[edcoil]

Our “aid” has been part of causing this problem. We should end it now either way.

[Paleo Conservative]

That’s a relief. I was afraid he wanted to cook and eat the US ambassador.

[353FMG]

Does Zimbabwe even rate high enough in the list of third world hellholes to justify sending a US ambassador? This embassadorial position must be a punitive assignment.

[hosepipe]

Are there no mercenarys aware of the Zimbabwe DIAMOND MINES???....
Mugabe should be easy to plink... Zimbabwean politics is more or less like a troup of Chimpanzees..

[HardStarboard]

Why Bush and Condi didn’t pull our representatives out of that rotting hell hole long ago is beyond me.
