Or maybe he's still self-effacing and humble in his own dictatorial way. He does say that the new dictator "doesn't have to be me." And the dictatorship he's calling for is a "benevolent" one. Bush's "compassionate conservatism" comes to mind.Mike Klonskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02017021676773731024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133521035538248322.post-48433627621939263542009-06-25T13:50:09.321-05:002009-06-25T13:50:09.321-05:00What a lesson to students--when things are tough, ...What a lesson to students--when things are tough, turn to dictatorship!<br /><br />That's what the Ayatollah thinks too.<br /><br />DebDeb Meiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133521035538248322.post-11618781784657294482009-06-25T13:20:23.601-05:002009-06-25T13:20:23.601-05:00This is an interesting view, because Cortines was ...This is an interesting view, because Cortines was superintendent of my school district, San Francisco Unified, before I had kids or was involved in school or otherwise paying attention. But I've talked to many veterans about him, and blogged about their views when he became LAUSD supe (this time around).
