The loneliness of Zapatero

In Catalonia (and in half of the world) to get even the crappiest jobs some sort of foreign language knowledge is required. This rule applies to all sorts of jobs except to politicians, because most Catalan and Spaniard politicians are monolingual. The president of Catalonia only speaks Spanish, not even Catalan, which he is learning at the moment, even though he has lived in Catalonia almost all his life. The former president Aznar was ridiculous when he tried to speak English, but his successor Zapatero is as bad or worse. He only speaks Spanish, nothing else. I wonder why there isn't a list of minimum requirements to be president of a country and I have to study like crazy to find a good job in the future. I speak, read, and understand four languages, why can't politicians do the same.

But Zapatero (as Aznar, Gonzalez or Montilla) has found out what happens if you are half-illiterated and you become a ruler, you end up being the target of all jokes. Just look at the following videos, in the first one, recorded yesterday he is isolated from all the NATO leaders because he is not able to communicate with any of them. Indeed a very useful country representative. The other two videos don't need comments.
