That title doesn’t apply to President Bush. It’s the president of Pakistan I’m talking about.
I just watched Jon Stewart interview President Pervez Musharraf on The Daily Show. You can watch the three parts here, here, and here.
One thing that struck me about Musharraf was that he has a much better grasp of the English language than our American president. It’s like he actually thinks before he speaks.
The “Seat of Heat” question was:
Let’s say if there were an election held in Pakistan today and not clearly for you job, because you’re doing a wonderful job… for let’s say the mayoralty of Karachi or ombudsman or something, uh… and we put up two candidates: George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden. Be truthful. Who would win a popular vote in Pakistan?
(laughter)
Musharraf replied: “I think they’ll both lose miserably.”
(laughter and applause)
