#2 Naturally the Kosmonutz have filled the comments section with calls for Dubya's inclusion...though I did see Desert Blondie fighting the good fight.

#3 This reminds me of a poll i saw a while ago for your dream ruler...

the al-Guardian brigade nominated Noam Chomsky #1.

Kofi Annan was #2.

I could just imagine the two of them making this list ten years later.

#4 Note the number of commies and muslims in the list of 20. No wonder the koskids are seething.

#6 When did Liberace sneak onto the dictator list?

#7 This is a plea from HRW and Amnesty International to knock these guys over, right?

#8 Chavez hasn't rigged enough elections to make it onto the list?

#9 That ain't Liberace, Emily, it's Wayne Newton. I think Turkmenbashi got the poster from some past visit to Vegas.

#10 BTW - Great comments Fred! The Rantburg list is more accurate.

Anon1 - Chumpsky would make the list if he managed to become a dictator. Kofi should be on the list already.

#11 Thanks, Sea. They are going to turn me into a Republican one of these days, I swear.

I think my lil' bro might have posted, too. Will have to check with him. If he posted what I think he did, well, there's hope for him yet.

So far....two non-Moonbats in the rank and file of the Dem party. No wonder our mascot is the jackass.

#12 I guess this list is compilied based on a full year, time in position. Even so, Iran's Ahmadinejad should be added just based on potential. I see Khamenei made it and as they say the Guardian Council maintains control of the country.

#13 Where's Putty? He's gotta get dishonorable mention at minimum.

#14 Rantburg should sponsor its own list, updated every 4 months or so. Let us all vote.

#15 Do dead Democrats and Felons get extra votes?

#16 Only in Chicago, GS.

#17 Iran's Ahmadinejad is only a figurehead and spokesman, so to speak. The real power is in the hands of the MMs.

#18 They are going to turn me into a Republican one of these days, I swear.

Please remain a Democrat, Desert Blondie, and help fix the party. Just vote Republican until the Dems respond to your efforts, ok? Thanks!
