It's GOOD news!

Mugabe is running out friends. When even Jimmy Carter is liable to give a tyrant a problem, he has a problem.

3 lawhawk  Sat, Nov 22, 2008 9:02:35am

You know it's pretty pathetic when despots think you're not worth having around.

Seriously though, it's pretty telling that Mugabe figures that it's not a good idea for Carter or Annan to be snooping around because what they'd find might actually be shocking to even them. After all, Mugabe's run the Zimbabwean economy into the ground - poverty is rampant, unemployment is 80%+ and inflation is probably around 2 million percent.

Since Carter is responsible for Mugabe being in power.

It is likely a real shock to Carter and Annan. They were no doubt going over to legitimize the coalition government. It is likely Mugabe is terrified that the press will see first hand the living conditions of the citizenry.

58 nyc redneck  Sat, Nov 22, 2008 9:16:32am

carter is an evil person, by design or ignorance.
he facilitated the collapse of a once prosperous and stable african country.
rhodesia was the gem of the continent until mugabe took over and destroyed the infrastructure.
the greedy commie sob started just giving away land. spreading the wealth around to his cronies and strong arm backers.
and soon farms, that had supplied much of south africa w/ food, stopped producing.
the stupid morons who now paraded around their newly acquired 'plantations' had no idea there was more to it than parading.

and now carter is not allowed in. he of all people needs to see what he has wrought.
starvation, sickness, despair.

of course as a 'good' communist sob, he is not moved at all by the suffering of his people.
everything was in place for the bastard to take over and keep the country going, but communists like power. and the welfare of the citizens wasn't even an after thought.

re: #33 pat

It is likely a real shock to Carter and Annan. They were no doubt going over to legitimize the coalition government. It is likely Mugabe is terrified that the press will see first hand the living conditions of the citizenry.

That was my guess, as well. Also, Mugabe may see Carter as a problem now, in that the soon-to-be POTUS is an admirer of same. If Jimmy went to TEO and said, "We have to do something about the situation in Zimbabwe", backed up by press reports of the real misery there (all inflicted by Mugabe and his kleptocracy), it's very likely that The One would be faced with having to do something, no matter how much he'd prefer to just vote "present" again.

It would be one issue about which his critics on the extreme left, and everyone else who didn't vote for him, would be in full agreement. That's the sort of PR nightmare no new Administration wants.

It's also one that TEO may get stuck with, whether he wants it or not.

I understand he gets most of his weaponry from Lil' Kim in North Korea and the Chicoms. They were the ones who helped bring him to power along with the leftist sycophants in the Western media and governments who derided Rhodesia as a "racist fascist state".

Why do they keep him in power? Well, one reason might be some of the world's largest chromium deposits are there. Chrome is not just used for automobile trim, but for lining gun barrels and in jet engine parts. The Chicoms want that chrome.

I was always taught to have respect for my elders. I think I'll make an exception for this group.

Probably giving Bernadine and Michelle lessons on necklacing.

Pretty damned tacky that is. I like it.

More testing.

You deleted yourself?

Some new auto-delete mechanism in the works?

Rasmussen Poll just called. Do you think President Obama is doing a good job as president?

Ohfercryinoutloud.

What a load of shit you must be to be rejected by a running sewer.

122 grumpy old codger  Sat, Nov 22, 2008 10:44:56am

Maybe if we included the Mugabe government in the bailout package? I mean, why not offer them citizenship too while we're at it.

At current exchange rates, $1.00 US exchanges for $38,000,000,000,000 ($38 quadrillion) old Zimbabwe Dollars (i.e. before August, 2008) or $38,000 new Zimbabwe Dollars.

Carter tried to do the same thing here, but like everything else, failed. (I haven't heard of any of his houses falling in, maybe he should stick to construction work.)

Can the US bar an ex-President from entering the country?

If you look at their site, although in the copy they still call him President- elect, the headline is Presidential approval.

[Link: www.rasmussenreports.com...]

Forty percent approve how he is "handling the role" of President-elect.

Note to Jimmah and Annan;

That means he has a 60% disapproval rating.

My mistake. Forty strongly approve. Another 21% approve, less strongly- I guess.

I briefly heard about that yesterday. What's up with that?

They dropped $23 million bucks worth of the world's taxpayer's money on a new ceiling design:

No, just using the same standards with obama that the left used with Bush.

130 descolada9  Sat, Nov 22, 2008 11:32:38am

This would really be funny if the situation in Zimbabwe weren't so sad. And yet the loony leftists of the world hail Mugabe for his brave whatever. Still, it would be nice to send Carter and Anan into exile with the octogenarian

re: #77 sattv4u2

Are you serious? Some people have posters of their favorite sports figures on their bedroom walls, others their favorite pop culture stars

The average Obama voter has the entire series of Anti-Americans on theirs

Well, at least there was a lot of Che Guevara imagery in their offices.

Although a quick, unscientific survey of students sporting Che T-shirts on my son's campus quickly revealed that not a single one of them knew who he was, what he had done or even what the person's name whose face they were sporting was.

It's amazing how many people you can pack into the left-hand side of the Bell Curve. Some days, it seems like it holds way more than half.

132 whitehatguy  Sat, Nov 22, 2008 11:58:02am

Carter and Annan Barred from Zimbabwe

Hum. Sounds like a Zionist conspiracy for sure.

133 webrider  Sat, Nov 22, 2008 12:00:08pm

Now, if we could only keep Kofi and Jimmy out of the USA, what a wonderful world it would be.

134 Jakespidermonkey  Sat, Nov 22, 2008 12:52:59pm

re: #31 Doriangrey,

Holy Crap! they are the Legion of Doom!

Actually, I feel Jimmah, Koffi, & Robbie Moogabe are more like the "3 stooges!" I guess "Mo" is upset at Jimmy & Koffi! Those 3 morons love stirring up trouble! And besides, Mo, Curly, Larry, Shep, & Joe were better doing things than these so-called leaders!

135 LEGION  Sat, Nov 22, 2008 1:33:45pm

HEY! I am the Legion of Doom- doom saying this Barry jimmah carter II presidency will trash the USA to dust. We are all dooommmeeeddd.

136 davinvalkri  Sat, Nov 22, 2008 2:02:22pm

OWNED!

But seriously, how desperate does Mugabe have to be to bar one of the guys who put him in power entry into the country? You'd think he'd make some good PR with the UN or something.

137 J'accuzzi  Sat, Nov 22, 2008 3:08:40pm

Mugabe's still there? Why that senile marxist klepto! Thought he was consulting full time in Caracas and Washington these days.

138 bombarafat  Sat, Nov 22, 2008 3:16:30pm

I think they should also be barred from re entering the US

139 SamHermanMD  Sat, Nov 22, 2008 6:10:20pm

LOL.

We don't want them either!

In Carter's case I don't think we are allowed to do that, unfortunately.

142 gippergal  Sat, Nov 22, 2008 7:55:06pm

Bless his heart.

As kind and well-intentioned as Jimmy Carter is, I do fervently wish he would stick to Habitat for Humanity, where he does much more good than attempting to intervene in international crises.

Zimbabwe is a catastrophe, and the last thing anyone needs is a president from thirty years ago attempting to fix the situation. While I'm no fan of the liberal illuminati, I do hope that in coming months assumed-new-Sec-of-State Clinton has better success in that arena than Annan and Carter had this week.

143 LesLein  Sun, Nov 23, 2008 6:01:01am

Can Carter be barred from entering America?

144 Cutty Sark  Sun, Nov 23, 2008 7:30:19am

perhaps there's a place in Jimmah's Library for a portrait of Mugabe ...right next to the collection of Billah's empty beer cans .

145 rumcrook  Sun, Nov 23, 2008 9:57:28am

how can a man who was president be so obtusely wrong about virtually everything he supports

146 MJBrutus  Tue, Nov 25, 2008 4:43:04am

Oh no, he lost his Zimbab privliges! Oh how the mighty have fallen.
