    Here's an idea: Let's import our political opposition!

    Here's an idea:

    Morgan Tsvangirai just threw in the towel in the elections in Zimbabwe after his supporters were murdered, tortured etc by Mugabe's thugs. Since he's available, and political opposition is now one of those jobs homegrown Americans think is beneath them, why don't we just import him? We need political opposition that doesn't scare easily, and Tsvangirai needs a job and a new home.

    Sounds more plausible than waiting for the Democowards to grow a pair.
