I imagine that Senator Clinton will somehow withstand the ire of the Zimbabwean Ambassador.

Said ambassador is full of umbrage - umbrage! - that the Senator used his country's recent fraudulent electoral meltdown as a metaphor for... fraudulent electoral meltdowns, apparently.
The ambassador to the United States from Zimbabwe, Machivenyika Mapuranga, took issue this week with comments Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, made in Florida last week to urge that the Democratic National Committee count every vote as cast from disputed contests in Florida and Michigan.
Personally, I don't think that the Florida and Michigan thing - while admittedly funny - is really up to the standards of Zimbabwean-level electoral malfeasance. Still, given that the ambassador is almost certainly a crony of Mugabe - which would be the polite way to say "a corrupt, mendacious, toadying crapweasel of a man" - I suggest that she may want to consider putting his objections on her campaign brochures.
Couldn't hurt.
... a corrupt, mendacious, toadying crapweasel of a man....
Remind me to stay on your good side. I am on your good side, right?

Why are we even accepting the credentials of the ambassador from Zimbabwe, especially if we're going to say that the cuss he represents should be out of office? Why aren't we accepting a Tsvangirai ambassador, or failing that, no one?
Things have now gotten so bad in Zim that.... well, one picture is worth several billion words....
What Would Jimmy (Carter) Declare? He is the Democratic guru when it comes to stamping elections as fair when held by despots abroad.
