    That is one entertaining quote all right. Sure gets the old curiosity going.
Does the poster (or anybody) have any information about who said the above, or
in what context?


    Here are a couple of other attention-getters:

    "Do you know why I am a true political leader? Because I am here without
    your votes."
	Guatemalan dictator Rios Montt, broadcast to the nation, May 24, 1982
	(after the coup in which he siezed power)


    "[Rios Montt is] a man of great personal integrity, totally committed to
    restoring democracy."
	Ronald Reagan, after meeting with Rios Mont. December 1982


    Well, I thought they were funny.
