A website called HottestHeadsOfState.com has been getting a lot of attention this week. It’s tough to argue with their assessment that Yulia Tymoshenko, Prime Minister of Ukraine, is the hottest world leader.
While most people were ogling Yulia and her male cohorts in the top ten, we immediately went to the other end of the list to find the ugliest, the oddest and the most hideous heads of state.
It’s a far more interesting list.
Ilham Aliyev, President of Azerbaijan. Does he remind anyone else of the guy who played the high school principal in Ferris Beuller’s Day Off (the one who later got arrested for possession of child porn)?
Ahmed Ouyahia, Prime Minister of Algeria. Geraldo Rivera’s Arab uncle.
David Thompson, Prime Minister of Barbados. Holy crap. His moustache is the same size as his eyebrows.
Raúl Castro, President of Cuba. Looks more like a southern cop starring with Burt Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit.
Óscar Arias, President of Costa Rica. If it’s true that people look like their pets, we assume Arias owns an English bulldog.
Meles Zenawi, Prime Minister of Ethiopia. One word: ferret.
László Sólyom, President of Hungary. Robin Williams crossed with Professor Irwin Corey.
Valdis Zatlers, President of Latvia. President of the high school A/V club makes good.
Muammar al-Gaddafi, Guide of the First of September Great Revolution of the Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. Separated at birth from Keith Richards. Also on the lists of world’s nuttiest leaders and world’s worst dressed leaders.
Kim Jong-il, Chairman of the National Defense Commission of North Korea. C’mon, the guy looks like the illegitimate love child of Elvis Presley and Yoko Ono.
Abdullah, King of Saudi Arabia. Appears to be wearing your mom’s table cloth over his head and and one of those Groucho Marx toy eyeglass-nose-moustache devices.
Bashar al Assad, President of Syria. If the rest of his body was proportionate to his neck, he’d be eight feet tall.
Robert Mugabe, President of Zimbabwe. One scary-looking son of a bitch.
