Charm school, Zimbabwe style
Ya gotta like the state of international diplomacy.
[Zimbabwe Presidential spokesman George] Charamba had harsh words for Western pressure: “They can go hang.”
How eloquent. Mr. Charamba, I will give you two points for spelling and conveying some meaning.

My daughter and her frioends often say they are going to “go hang” here or there: Starbucks, someone’s house, or “whatever”.
Therefore I aplaud Mr. Charambra’s grasp of American slang and his diplomacy at suggesting that the Western leaders “go hang” on their own turf or whatever. He might have said “F*** off”.

In that light, I believe he was inviting the leaders to chill with him and Mugabe at the Zimbabwe Starbucks.
