Vanity Fair told us: the emperor has clothes



If irresponsible arms running, blowing up passenger planes, and squirreling away billions in oil wealth wasn't enough -- after all, what world leader doesn't do the same?-- Qaddafi was revealed back in 2009 by Vanity Fair as a fashion criminal. Have a look and reflect that an entire country was enslaved to support a dictator's weird self-image.

Of course, if he paid for these outfits out of his pocket, his fashion sense might be defended as performance art. But no, because then he'd have to put up with fashion critics, or maybe even being ignored.
