Mohamad Mahathir Has a Blog

Wow, this is awesome. The former prime minister of Malaysia now has a blog. For those of you who don't know, this guy was (and continues to be) one of the more colorful former leaders of the world. Some of his outlandish and utterly ridiculous statements have been:

• “Currency trading is unnecessary, unproductive and totally immoral. It should be stopped.”
• “As if these are the good old days when people can shoot Aborigines without caring for human rights.”
• "The Jews rule the world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them.”
• "The Muslims have never ill-treated the Jews."

Mahathir claims he has friends that are Jewish... in the same manner as a cracker from Alabama in the 19th century would say he had black or gay friends.

His blog may be real interesting, once you hit post it is captured in a RSS feed -- even if you delete it right away. This could get real interesting. Citizens of a country deserve the public officials they elect.
