What's the deal with these crazy world leaders all of a sudden? Bush, Chavez, Ahmedinejad, Morales, WTF? You know that all of those other countries are just copying us. We elect a loonie and they all follow suit. Oh well, I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Hitler was being crazy back in the 30s before it was even popular. And Idi Amin had a strangehold on the nut job leader role back in the 70s.

True. Maybe the US just brought back an old fad. We're retro-hip.

Nice one DCD. :(

Use the fact that there are some wacko world leaders to make YET ANOTHER crack on Bush. I am far from a Bush fan, but I am tired of this "Bush is the retarded antichrist" crap. The horse has been beaten to a pulp already.

And you left out Kim-Jong Il.

No, no, no. You are all copying BC. BC has never had a leader who wasn't crazy (one even changed his name to "Amoureux du Cosmos" [Lover of the Cosmos]). We've been electing loonies for a century.

It's what the US is good at, taking a small trend from somewhere else, and using the power of marketing to make it a global phenomenon.

These guys aren't Bush, but they're pretty close. I think Bush is an idiot, but too much bashing insults the Republicans that want to kill liberals and us anarchists.

Yep. Cocal leaves from Colombia and Peru became crack and sold like hotcakes.

Pommes Frit became "super sized french fries". Later to be unsuccessfully renamed "Freedom Fries". Still Mc Donalds made a mint.

That's just what we do.

I chalk it up to competition for media face time. Whoever says the most outrageous shit collects air time, until they say too much and step on the booby trap. GAME OVER. It could be a board game.
