"Do you want me to punch you to the floor to realize I am still there?"

The speaker was not a boxer trash-talking before a fight. It was Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, who is 92 and known for pugnacious comments.

This one, to an interviewer from state TV, was in response to a question about retirement plans and who would succeed him.

The successor is Red China’s invasion of the place he was meant to usher

All foreign aid and humanitarian missions to Africa should be abolished. They’ll never become Westernized.

“Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, who is 92 ... in response to a question about retirement plans and who would succeed him. ‘Why ‘successor’ when I am still there?’”

Sounds like the little dictator thinks there is more destruction and misery he can bring on Rhodesia before assuming room temperature. One wouldn’t think there would be anything left to destroy at this point.

Quite horrid to see no turning of such ill character after 92 years of life.

he’s a racist thug who has ruined Rhodesia for everyone living there (except his cronies in the ruling elite). he’s earned an express ticket to Hell... one with no waiting in line.

He gets big laughs at the UN with his "How would you like a nice Mugabe punch" routine ...

Just make sure you're not the first person to stop laughing ...

I have always wondered how this clown has made it this long without ending up with a bullet or two in his head?

Joseph Conrad knew what he was talking about. “The horror; the horror”.

I remember when Rhodesia was the breadbasket of Africa and a wonderful place to visit. Mugabe and his followers ‘fundamentally transformed’ it into hell in a handbasket, which is pretty much what Obama would like to do with the US.

A little trivia, he is the 2nd oldest head of state and the 3rd longest serving head of state.

The King of Thailand is the longest serving with Queen Elizabeth 2nd then Mugabe. He is older than Queen Elizabeth so he comes in 2nd in that category.
