Who Are The World's Worst Dictators For 2008? See The List, Listen To The TYT Interview & Decide
Edited on Wed Feb-27-08 10:42 PM by ihavenobias
Here Is The List For 2008 (interview below): http://www.parade.com/dictators/2008/

Author and Editor of Parade Magazine (and author of the book 'Tyrants: The World's 20 Worst Living Dictators'), David Wallechinsky, talks to TYT about his list of the world's worst dictators: http://youngturks.vo.llnwd.net/o1/2-19-08DavidWallechinsky.wmv

PS---You can always watch the Show Live 3-5 pm ET, with a Rolling Post Game 5-7 pm daily Monday-Friday at www.theyoungturks.com The RPG often contains political talk but also many non-political topics to lighten things up (and yes, that audio may not necessarily be work-safe).

Also, if you can't watch live, the 3-5pm portion of the show (politics) streams the rest of the day, all day right after the Post Game Show ends leading up to the initial show at 3pm.

4. If you don't have time and only care about his answer to that question, skip to 4:46 or so
Although I recommend listening to the whole thing at some point as it's under 17 minutes.

14. Raoul Castro made #18
and he's only been in charge of Cuba for like 10 minutes. Obviously an over-achiever...
