Evil Leaders League, Semis 2nd Leg

We're creeping closer to the evil leader's ultimate prize (other than a nuclear weapon). That's right, the ELL championship. Let's see who made the Finals. The official Evil Leaders League site is here.

Kim vs Ahmadinejad
North Korea's Kim Jong-Il has been of two minds lately. To South Korea, Kim is like a bacon cheeseburger on a bun of donuts- looks like your friend, but really could kill you. He's shown signs of reconciliation one day and the next he claims he'll annihilate the South. Yesterday, North Korea unleashed a flood on South Korea. The tears of 100,000s of labor camp inmates make for a pretty ferocious flood. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran got most of his aides approved by parliament. Only one, his minister for green jobs, was rejected because he reportedly "had an opinion" on "things." Seems like Iran's thought police is out in force. At least they let him keep death panels in his health care reform bill. The death panels have another name in Iran though, the justice system.
winner 2nd leg: Kim by 11

al-Bashir vs Shwe
There's nothing more annoying to Sudan's Omar al-Bashir than when some American douche corrects his English even though everyone knows what Omar meant. The essence of language is to convey meaning, never mind linguistic semantics. It’s just another form of neo-colonialism. Meanwhile, the West continues to bemoan the inequality that Sudanese women face. Did you know that a female member of the Janjaweed militia hacks a person from Darfur for 25% less than a man? What injustice! Senator Jim Webb learned something very valuable about the Burmese military junta leader, Than Shwe of Myanmar, on his recent visit. Shwe is less a man than a Japanese robot who gains energy from the degradation of his population. See Japan, this is where a robot dog who can pee leads!
