Strongman Mugabe is in a very defensive position — even the police and army, who have put up such an intimidatory display to cow demonstrators, are suffering from Zimbabwe’s seemingly endless economic decline.

Zimbabwe President Mugabe told his associates the very concept of having to share power with those who actually won a fair election is a “humiliation.” The basic mistake he made stemmed from “if only we had not blundered in March.” In March, 2008, there was a semblance(not complete but the appearance) of a fair election.

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.

But nobody beats Zimbabwe and Bob the Ballot Rigging Man!There used to be a saying in London about a suspect person, "He's got more front than Sainsbury's!". In Mugabe's case, I reckon he's trying to pass Sainsbury's off as Tesco into the bargain. He's got front and side together.

Well, well! Now it appears that the old codger is preparing for a run-off election. The only man in history to participate in such an election when the challenger secured over 50% of the vote first time round. Of course, Mugabe knows it's all bogus, but then bogus elections are what dictators are all about.CNN says that Mugabe's party is in disarray, split between those who think Mugabe should gracefully step down and those who say he should fight to stay in office. This was confirmed by a party member on Thursday.I reckon he's cooked his goose. He's just upped the probability of him being strung up from the nearest tree, or possibly gold encrusted chandelier. The two sides must be down to the quicks of their fingers! If they have any sense, they'll get him to step down. History is not on
