Mugabe goes soft in the head!

Not only is Robert Mugabe an accomplished voterigger, he's also an umblemished bullshitter and a political bamboozler of the first order. He's an old man that's got more vinegary, more angry, and more wicked as his memory twists his brain. Now he's just made the worst calculation of his life.

Morgan Tsvangirai is a perfectly mild-mannered man. Considering he won the election, he's been very civil and kind towards Mugabe. Mugabe's not been kind to Mr.Tsvangirai, having had the MDC leader brutally beaten and generally treated very nastily over the years. Morgan Tsvangirai said Mugabe could live out a good life, he wouldn't be prosecuted and things could be worked out, etc. Not any more. Now it's perfectly possible for Mugabe to meet with a fate far worse that sitting out in a deckchair gazing at the failed crops and crumbling buildings. Why? Because those that told Tsvangirai that things could change, that is telling Mugabe the game was up, ratted on the deal. What idiots. Didn't they see what happened to that dozy dictator, Caucescu? Mugabe's got a few sleepless nights coming up!

Mugabe has the cheek to say, "We, not the British, established democracy, based on one person, one vote". Fantasist! One person means Robert Mugabe, one vote means his and his alone. Because if he can ignore an election result all the other votes are meaningless.

Herald headlines should read - "Mugabe meets Humpty Dumpty to swap notes". That's the real world of Zimbabwean government thinking.
