Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has endorsed John Kerry. Remember him? “The Jews rule this world by proxy . . . They survived 2,000 years of pogroms not by hitting back, but by thinking. They invented and successfully promoted socialism, communism, human rights, and democracy so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong, so they may enjoy equal rights with others. With these they have now gained control of the most powerful countries, and they, this tiny community, have become a world power.”

The Bush campaign “Bring Em On” strategy re: foreign-leader endorsements seems just right.
