Fritzl, Pope, Zardari top ‘losers’ list
The Pope was declared the second biggest loser because “he’s out of touch with the real world and his papacy is ‘a disaster’”, the magazine wrote.
Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, who was forced by his opponents to accept the demand to reinstate sacked judges, has been listed the fifth biggest loser in the world by the prestigious Foreign Policy magazine.
“Zardari was known to be a bad guy long before he became Pakistan’s president. Many of the closest friends of his late wife Benazir Bhutto could not stand him. Now, as it turns out, neither can most of the Pakistani people,” read the citation by the US-based magazine.
Foreign Policy listed 12 other leaders from this month’s “headlines ranked by just how little sympathy we should have for them”.
