Mugabe refuses to talk to US ‘idiot’
The Times ^ | 7/6/09 | staff

ZIMBABWE’S state media reported yester day that Robert Mugabe described the US assistant secretary of state for Africa as “an idiot” after their acrimonious meeting at the African Unit summit meeting in Libya.

# Mugabe calls US official an idiot

According to the Herald newspaper, Mugabe said nothing came of the talks.

“You wouldn’t speak to an idiot of that nature. Who is he?

“I hope he is not speaking for Barack Obama. I told him he was a shame, a great shame being an African-American,” Mugabe was quoted as saying about Johnnie Carson.

Well, we know what some Africans think of African-Americans. The ambassador probably tried to be nice and civil and “make progress”, and ran head-to-head finding out what it’s like dealing with a real world-class thug. Naive, like his boss.

"President Obama on March 20 announced his intent to nominate career diplomat and three-time U.S. ambassador in Africa Johnnie Carson as the next U.S. assistant secretary of state for African affairs"

Obama: "Johnnie Carson? I said I wanted Johnny Cochran for ambassador."
Aide: "Mr. President, Johnnie Cochran is dead."
Obama: "He's dead? How come I'm always the last person to hear these things. The next thing I bet you tell me is Michael Jackson is dead."

If someone had told me last year that this Country would have elected someone worse then Carter, I would have laughed. I am not laughing anymore.

Seeing Mugabe call the Hillary State Department person an idiot did make me laugh. What a team ZERO put together to bring humor to the world because they are sure the most incompetent bunch of people ever and I thought Carter was bad.

Yeah, it's almost funny except it's not. Obama's incompetent and economically illiterate (Bush wasn't much better, though), Mugabe on the other hand is a genocidal Fascist and the the closest thing possible to the actual Hitler.

I feel like I’ve entered a parallel dimension when Robert Mugabe makes sense, and our “PRESidENT” doesn’t!

That happened to me while watching the '04 Democrat primary debates. Only Al Sharpton made any sense whatsoever. It' was very disorienting, like vertigo.

If we have a “Kenyan born” idiot in the WH then we are the morons who put him there while not trying to correct our mistake.

Hey Obama... you could try bowing to Mugabe... and maybe he’ll stop calling you an idiot?

I share your sentiments. You want to laugh and almost cry at the same time with this Administration.

"pegged"

I don’t know. Maybe M is more like a Lib who is angry as MSNBC for being a tool of the Right Wing Propaganda Machine.

Sure the enemy of my enemy’s enemy’s enemy’s enemy is Keven Bacon and all but I don’t think M and American Conservatives share the same perspective of that big eared DumBO.

When Mugabe wakes up some morning with a severed horse head in his bed (or the head of his favorite pet or obscure relative), and a note containing an “offer he can’t refuse”, he may learn to take “The Chicago Way” more seriously. Given his deep-seated criminality, probably nothing less will make an impression on him.

Seriously, Mugabe is a vicious thug, people. You have to be really desperate sufferers of ODS to give his statements anything but the contempt they deserve.

Mugabe is no friend of mine. He needs to be taken out, IMO, by the CIA. It’s just funny that Obama was planning on re-establishing America’s good name, and so far leaders are just slapping the crap out of him instead.
