So, yes, I admit it. I watch Jon Stewart. Particularly when he has guests like King Abdulla II of Jordan.
You should watch this clip (you can skip the humor stuff at the beginning, if you’re like me) — King Abdullah is about as smart and reasonable-sounding as you would want a leader of a country to be.
Watch King Abdullah making Jon Stewart straighten up and fly right.
He spoke plainly, well, passionately, and firmly. No strategic pauses or inflections (a la Obama); no strained hyperbole (like nearly every Republican or Fox Schmooze correspondent).
Just a real man sounding like a real leader. I dig this guy.
He also has no oil in his country and played an extra on Star Trek Voyager:-)
He was on Star Trek Voyager ? Which episode ?
Oh, if you’re looking for a King, I’m available.
Look it up on the net your Highness and it will tell you.I never watched the show but saw it on the net.
PS Just looked it up it was called Investigations from 1996.It was not a speaking role.
