Gaddafi Gets a Promotion

A meeting of more than 200 African kings and traditional rulers has bestowed the title "king of kings" on Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. (BBC)The irony of a man who once claimed to be a socialist reduced to basking in the praise of a snivelling gaggle of second-rate heriditary monarchs is pretty delicious.
But the title bestowed upon him has some pretty hardcore precedents - among those who have been historically dubbed "king of kings" are Ramses II, Jesus Christ, and the great man himself, Haile Selassie, whose full title was "King of Kings, Lord of Lords, the Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah".
You have to do more than lose a war with Chad and father a servant-beating pervert to earn that title, Colonel.
