SOCIAL: Who will be the world's most embarrassing head of government once Bush is gone?

[Brian Rice]

Really embarrassing leaders seem to be going out of vogue.  For my  
money, it was hard to beat Saparmurat Niyazov, who was Turkmenistan's  
President-for-Life until he kicked the bucket a few years ago.  He is  
noted for having renamed the month of September after a book he  
wrote.  This is pretty cool too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrality_Arch

Brian (who is pretty excited about having a president who won't give  
foreign leaders unwanted backrubs)
