The Political Razzies

[Elok]

Perhaps, but again, not restrictive enough. I'm looking for an award that can be given only to leaders of countries.

Does it really give you a hard-on to dump on Marie Antionette?

[Elok]

Well, if you mean in the sense of scat, no, I've never been into that. And she's been dead too long even for "necro-scat." I'm really not that adventurous, the most I'd be willing to try would be perhaps light bondage with Marie Antoinette. Maybe cosplay, if she played as "a person not 200+ years dead."

[Boris Godunov]

To be fair, MA gets a bad rap. She didn't really say "Let them eat cake!" Her supposed extra disdain for the poor is largely myth.

[Elok]

Yeah, I seem to recall hearing something like that. She's largely a placeholder.

[Boris Godunov]

Leona Helmsley, perhaps?

Napoleon was generally civilized to conquered peoples,

Uhmmmmm.......... You'd be surprised. Remember Napoleon got his first big chance to make a name for himself when he secured crowd control on the streets of Paris by giving unruly citoyens a whiff of grapeshot. There is a famous Goya painting of a group of French soldiers executing a bunch of Spanish peasants. Scholars figure the total dead in the French Revolutionary / Napoleonic Wars at around 10 million, which is impressive when you consider that Europe's total population was less than 1/4 th it's population in 1914.

Napoleon also had a penchant for abandoning his own troops in far-flung places (Egypt, Haiti).

[Elok]

I was calling him civilized by comparison to Genghis Khan. How many cities did Napoleon annihilate (outside the course of a battle)?
