Demagogue

When I first stumbled upon this website for Zimbabwe's president-for-life, Robert Mugabe, I was a little suspicious that it wasn't his official website. On the one hand, the home page features this didactic statement:

Dear Comrades,

After the recent spate of biased and mischievous reporting by the colonialist foreign press, I have ultimately decided to reveal to you, the honest and hard-working citizens of Zimbabwe, a little more of Mugabe -- The Man.

I know you love your leader as much as you love your country. I know you deserve to see what kind of man I am. To those of you that already know me, this will simply be a joyous refresher of your cherished memories of me. To those with the still unfulfilled desire to know me better, I welcome you to an intimate glimpse of Mugabe -- The Man.

On the other hand, having read quotes and transcripts of Mugabe's speeches, these egomaniacal phrases seemed plausibly to be from Mugabe's mouth.

But the parody was exposed after I clicked on the My Early Years link. Quite amusing.
