NEW YORK This weekend, Parade and USA Weekend pull out the editorial chestnut of “the list” for their cover subjects. But the two supplements' similarity for this week ends there. snip

In Parade's listing, the number one, most contemptible dictator is: Sudan’s Omar al-Bashir, 61, in power since 1989. Last year’s rank: 7.

U.S. allies in the top 10: Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia and Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan.

It’s unclear how Parade determines that one despot is more evil than the next. No matter. The piece does explain “the competition” this year was “so heated that two dictators who made last year’s list were nudged off.” Fidel Castro (Cuba) and King Mswati III (Swaziland) have been booted to “dishonorable mention” status.
