Fashion Tips for Dictators


Two world leaders in the news this week are in definite need of makeovers. Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad always looks like he's been loafing around the house on a Saturday and his wife has sent him out to pick up some enriched uranium. So he threw on his Members Only jacket and took the Subaru to the Tehran Home Depot. Note to Mahmoud: a business suit and tie once in a while would not be out of place as you are issuing ultimatums and ordering crackdowns on protests to your election. People might tend to take you more seriously if you didn't appear to be a suburban dad on his way to drop the kids off to little league and ballet practice. I'm just saying.


Meanwhile, Mummar Gaddafi of Libya made his speech to the UN wearing Beatrice Arthur's cast-offs from the first season of Golden Girls when she had that unflattering hair-do. In addition, he sported that weird hat which resembled something a church lady would wear to a Baptist service down south. Lose the flowing gowns Mummar, the military uniform you wore in younger days made a bolder statement.
