Miguel Octavio has some utterly repulsive photos of Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe in the throes of love. Look at those two embrace!

What’s hard to believe is that Mugabe, one of the world’s foremost creators of famine and hunger today, was so much as allowed in at this United Nations conference in Rome. UN Secretary General Kofi Annan had assured earlier that these kinds of obscenities at the UN – which do hurt its credibility – will stop. Well, they are not stopping. They are going on at full blast.

Investor’s Business Daily has an excellent news editorial on the matter, discussing Mugabe and Chavez yukking it up together, and then there’s those photos of Miguel’s here.

UPDATE: Aleksander Boyd has an actual tape of the whole Gargantua-like spectacle here and an analysis here.
