They smell more money to extort


I wonder whether they thought it up on their own, or if BHO gave them the idea.

I kind of thought big game hunting tours were big business in Africa.  Seems really stupid to destroy the whole industry over one case.  OTOH, maybe there's more money to be made (by the pols) taking bribes and kickbacks from poachers.

If the alternative is the Zimbabwe judicial system, I hope the guy runs.

This is africa.  If africa had a middle name it would be "stupid".  Running off or slaughtering people who want to pay them big bucks or produce something useful on their land is a continental pastime.

No, send those to D.C.

Can't possibly do a worse job than the baboons we already have.

Plus, CSpan would actually be entertaining television...
