W is really a loser

Former South African President Nelson Mandela has topped a BBC poll to find the person most people would like to lead a fantasy world government.

More than 15,000 people worldwide took part in the interactive Power Play game, in which players were invited to choose a team of 11 to run the world from a list of around 100 of the most powerful leaders, thinkers and other high-profile people on the planet.

The second choice was former US President Bill Clinton.

1. Well, it was basically a name recognition survey

I mean, really, Alan Greenspan? Bill Gates?

Stupid is not a loser, he's a winner. He just cheats to win.

4. Had the same reaction

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Chomsky has way more fans than I realized. No doubt his honesty and accurate assessment of planet earth explain his position. Looks like Bushco's anti Kofi propaganda did not work.
