I can’t think of a witty title

I read what Condoleezza Rice had to say about Robert Mugabe and her words reminded me of another country…see if you can fill in the blanks:

This is what I was thinking (the highlighted words are mine):
“It’s well past time for George W. Bush to leave. I think that’s now obvious. The fact is that there was a sham election in 2000. There then has been a sham process of war, corruption, and manufactured crises.  And now, we are seeing not only the political and economic toll that is being taken on the people of the world.”

This is what she really said:
“It’s well past time for Robert Mugabe to leave. I think that’s now obvious,” Rice said during a visit to Copenhagen, Denmark. “The fact is that there was a sham election. There then has been a sham process of power-sharing talks. And now, we are seeing not only the political and economic toll that is being taken on the people of Zimbabwe, but the toll in the humanitarian dimension as this cholera epidemic has broken out.”

It works out pretty nicely doesn’t it?

You too can fill in the blanks! just leave a comment with your words inserted!

Give it a try:

“It’s well past time for 1._________ to leave. I think that’s now obvious,” Rice said during a visit to Copenhagen, Denmark. “The fact is that there was a sham election. There then has been a sham process of 2._________. And now, we are seeing not only the political and economic toll that is being taken on the people of 3.________, but the toll in the humanitarian dimension as this 4.___________.”

The situation in Zimbabwe is awful and it has been awful for years.  Maybe the Bush administration has only now realized that Zimbabwe is a real country and not just a cool word.
