Seriously...

...y'all still say shit like this? As supposed heads of state? I know your country is in a bunch of turmoil...but what the hell is wrong with you?

From the World this Week section of the March 27th edition of the Economist:

"Sudan's president, Omar al Bashir (almost accidentally wrote 'batshit'), refused to postpone elections set for April 11th, despite fears that the country is not ready and that the poll could be chaotic. After the Carter Centre, an independent American monitoring group, suggested a "minor delay in polling for operational reasons", Mr Bashir said "we will cut off their fingers and crush them under our shoes."

Whose fingers? The people messing up the election? The Carter Center's staff? The fingers of Jimmy himself?

Perhaps the quote was taken out of context. Maybe he just said that about something else. Like, uh...yeah I really can't think of a harmless way to say that about anything ever.

very very strange.
