\nManto Tshabalala-Msimang Dead Dead Dead<\/a>, originally uploaded by royblumenthal<\/a>.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n

\nShe’s dead and gone now. <\/p>\n

Maybe it means South Africa has a chance to recover from the mistakes she made botching our ability to solve the AIDS crisis this country is sinking under.<\/p>\n

Verbose? Hey. Not as verbose as Manto. The alcoholic, thieving, incompetent buffoon.<\/p>\n

One liver transplant wasn’t good enough for her. She had to continue drinking. Just had to do it. <\/p>\n

And the first liver transplant was a stolen liver. She jumped the queue.<\/p>\n

And the second liver that was scheduled to be given to her? Stolen too. Another jumped queue.<\/p>\n

Am I sad that she’s gone? Nah. <\/p>\n

Am I worried that people will think ill of me for saying bad things about the dead? Nah. <\/p>\n

Am I happy that the country might be able to get back on track? I truly don’t know. I think there’s a lot of evil going on in this place. Our politicians are as corrupt as it’s possible to be. I think we’re screwed, actually. But hey.<\/p>\n
