Independence, Impartiality, Transparency...did I mention it's Opposite Day?

What’d I tell you—another article says the MDC has not yet decided whether or not it will participate in a runoff. I’m going to stop writing about this topic until I have an official statement from Morgan Tsvangirai.

But in even more ridiculous news…the government says that a runoff election may be delayed up to a year! The Zimbabwe constitution mandates that a runoff occur within three weeks of the original election—clearly that ship has sailed—but grants the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission the power to extend that period. And who’s on the ZEC? Mugabe’s political appointees. Using the ZEC to extend your hold on power—I must hand it to you, Bobby Mugabe, you are one crafty old bastard.

Need a laugh? Check out the ZEC’s website. “Independence, Impartiality, Transparency,” my ass.
