Flutterby™! :

So I'm afraid George W. Bush is right when he says "America understands that a guy doesn't know the name of every single foreign leader. That's not what Americans are making their choices on about who's going to be the president," but while he's whining that he is too smart enough to be president, I thought a small education for my readers might be in order. It also occurs to me that when he flunked the question his press secretary should have been immediately on the phone to every person likely to be fingered as a potential advisor to GW on foreign affairs and given them the following names:

• Taiwan - President Lee Teng-hui (this one George got by virtue of "Lee" as an answer)
• India - Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee
• Chechnya - President Aslan Mskhadov (in fairness, this guy doesn't get mentioned all that much)
• Pakistan - General Pervez Musharraf (c'mon, what with the recent coup there's no way to have missed this!)

For reference, I make no claim to any foreign policy expertise.
