Who's Blogging  |
Q. Sorry.
A. He wasn't there. But for the most part, whether it's a conservative or liberal show, people are supportive. Nobody likes dictators.
The majority of the complaints I get is that I didn't include George Bush on the list. I'm not a supporter of George Bush, but he's not a dictator. If he canceled the 2008 election, then he'd be a dictator.
Q. Which of these dictatorships would you most like to visit?
A. Burma. It's a beautiful place, except for the dictator [Than Shwe, No. 3].
Q. There are no women on this list. What's up with that?
A. Name me a woman dictator.
Q. Uhhhh . . .
A. Other than in your own home.
Q. Do you worry that women's groups will complain?
A. Well, they've got to work harder at becoming dictators in the future.
Q. One last question.
A. Okay.
Q. Do you have a daughter?
A. No.
Q. If you did, which dictator would you least want her to marry?
A. King Abdullah [Saudi Arabia, No. 7]. Do you know how they treat women in that country?
Q. So you would want your daughter -- your hypothetical daughter -- to marry a dictator of a country where women are better treated?
A. Yes.
