As cliche as it is, I'll have to say George Bush is one of the most detestable presidents...because everytime he speaks he makes a complete moron out of himself...I don't know whether it's because he suffers from dementia...but he most certainly portrays himself to be a f***ing dimwit, who knows f*** all about anything...and as a result he is ridiculed all over the world, which shows the amount of disrespect people have towards him.

But personally, the political figure I hate the most would be Saddam Hussein purely for his contribution to crimes against all humanity. He has taken part in some of the world's cruelest criminal acts...and so his execution, I believe is a good punishment...even though I don't believe in capital punishment...but this man would have continued to torture and kill people, through his "connections" and contacts even if he remained incarcerated. He has no sense of humanity...he is filled with hatred and intolerance, which are qualities no leader should have.

Thanks to her it will be a globally warmed day in hell before the Tories are ever trusted to be given the keys to No 10

hitler/stalin/idi amin/mugabe are all in the same ilk,

but some modern day political figures will go down in history at equally detestable, like bush/blair for their instigation of a war-on a lie, the result deaths of hundreds of brave servicemen/women and thousands of innocent civilians. i believe both should be tried for war crimes

They are all equally moronic here in Aus. Kevin Rudd is joyfully going on a shopping spree with OUR tax money. Stimulus bulls***!

John Howard only cared for business owners and entrepreneurs...and didn't give a flying f*** on the actual workers and labourers...although he kept our economy balanced by kissing George Bush's hairy ass.

Fair enough. But I hate him especially because he did under the name of the Islamic religion. He wanted to convince his fellow terrorists that "Allah" has commanded this.
