Robert Mugabe 'unable to stay awake during meetings'
The Telegraph ^ | August. 27, 2012 | Aislinn Laing

Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe's octogenarian president, has become a liability and must be replaced urgently because he is unable to stay awake in vital meetings, one of the country's senior politicians has said.

Welshman Ncube, leader of the smaller of the MDC's two factions in uneasy coalition with Mr Mugabe's Zanu PF since 2009, complained that Mr Mugabe's penchant for napping was making Zimbabwe a laughing stock.

He claimed that the 88-year-old president, who has led Zimbabwe since independence in 1980, had to be woken up by Michael Sata, the Zambian President and his staunch ally, during one session of the recent Southern African Development Community summit in Maputo, Mozambique.

One of the main topics up for discussion at the summit was Zimbabwe's progress towards a referendum on a new constitution and elections expected next year.

"If you are strong and young, you sleep in a dignified way, but his whole body collapses when he sleeps," he told supporters at a rally near the southern city of Bulawayo on Saturday.

"You sleep to a point that you are woken up by an equally old Sata as early as 9am, who would tell other leaders: 'let us wake Mugabe he is sleeping'. You think that person can rule Zimbabwe?"

Mugabe was a "liability," the minute he took power.

Don't believe me Ncube, just ask all of the dead white people...oh, that's right, you can't.

It’s a start, but when is this Hitler-loving bastard going to take that permanent slumber?

So why doesn’t somebody put a pillow over his face and let him sleep?

Maybe Obama can make him a czar since he supported him back in the day and has now open our borders and laws so wide that even Osama bin Laden’s grandchildren can be POTUS one day.

Maybe he was bitten by a tsetse fly, has narcolepsy, or has night-time problems due to an enlarged prostate and lacks sleep.

I wish all three upon him.

No tyrant deserves a natural death. Even pol pot should be killed in old age to send a message to leftist tyrants.

What difference does it make? He’ll just be replaced by another just like him.

Too late. Even though he was under house arrest, Pol Pot died in his bed.

One of the first things you learn in dictator school is not to live long enough to become a laughingstock.
