Hey Condi! Who’s that guy you’re shaking hands with? That wouldn’t be Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, president of Equatorial Guinea would it?
According to the U.S. Department of State website (isn’t that where you work?) President Obiang rules a country with a list of eighteen human rights violations including:
Arbitrary arrest, detention, and incommunicado detention
Judicial corruption and lack of due process
Government corruption
Forced labor, and
Child labor.
Parade Magazine has included him on the list of the ten worst dictators in the world for the past four years. And in July 2004, the U.S. Senate published a report about how President Obiang skimmed 35 million dollars in oil revenues and stashed it in personal accounts in the notorious Riggs Bank.
You know… the photo of you shaking hands with him kind of reminds me of this one:
So when are we going to invade and liberate the oppressed people of Equatorial Guinea from dictatorial rule by your “good friend?” That is how you introduced him last week.
He’s quite a charmer, isn’t he Condi?
Oh Condi, Condi I’m talkin’ to you girl
What’s it gonna hurt come on give me a whirl
Shake your body now let me see you go
One time for me Oh Condi I love you so
Skank for me Condi show me what you got
They say you’re too uptight I say you’re not
Dance around me spinnin’ like a top
Oh Condi Condi Condi don’t ever stop
