Patton Oswalts written (and deleted) way more offensive and insensitive tweets than that. Even about people who aren't about to be the most best luxurious huge handed powerful human in the world. (Once Jill Stein's war against democracy is stopped.)
it never occurred to me that Robert Mugabe was actually older than Fidel flipping Castro. Must have the same nutritionist as Cheney.
Both Confucius Peace Prize winners! (Along with Kofi Annan and Vladimir Putin!)
Du Muoi, the "retired" General Secretary of the Vietnam Communist Party will turn 100 if he makes it to February 2nd. The also "retired" "number one" of North Korea will be 89 two days later.
If we ignore the Eternal President Kim Il-Sung, Casto had 16 extra years of power over Mugabe, who is old but came late to it. Paul Biya of Cameroon is only 83 and needs under 11 years to top Castro.
Personal favorite Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea who kicked out his uncle in 1979 is only 74 and needs just under 15 years. Same for Jose Eduardo dos Santos of Angola who is also 74. Both have been in power a few months longer than Mugabe and are much younger.
The two guys outside of Africa with a shot at Castro's title are Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan if you include his time as head of the Soviet Republic, he needs 20 years and is 76. A better shot is probably Hun Sen of Cambodia who needs 21 years but is only 64.
Of course, this changes if you want to dock Casto for his five years of "medical leave" or if you want to award him for his last five years where he technically turned things over to Raul.
Chiang Kai-shek racked up the #2 count at almost 49 years, despite being ousted
twice and having to depart for Taiwan the second time.
The Western Hemisphere is totally weaksauce. Stroessner and Trujillo are the only ones to crack 31 years and thus top Stalin. And Trump's already 70! He'd have to hit age 101!
If Diaz hadn't "respected democracy" like a chump, he would had it in the bag for the West.
Dick Cheney is actually only 75. Or 3 in cyborg recharge-cycle units. He was just 60 years old when he ordered 9/11. He's only five years older than W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
