In praise of dictatorship - no Bernie, no, no, no.

by ROSS FURLONG, Jul 07 2009, 09:57 AM

What can I say to the world's press. Mmm, let me think, oh yes, I know, why don't I say something about how by not having to answer to a democracy, dictators get things done. Yes, that's good, now, an example that might resonate with the Germans...
