"I, Jacob Zuma, President of South Africa, pardon Shabir Shaik. Why not? Oh and I pardon myself. Why the hell not?"

Well why the hell not just have a Pardon Party. The ANC can sell pardons for votes. Why not? At the rate we're going, there's probably not enough money left in the world...

clipped from www.thetimes.co.za Karima Brown: When you’re president will you pardon Schabir? Jacob Zuma: If the law agrees, why not? Why should I discriminate against him? If that was to be recommended to me with good reasons, why should I ... because he happened to be my comrade and friend ... I should then say ’precisely because of that you’re going to be punished’. It can’t be.
