Cool, I guess. If what you are looking for in a "leader" is someone who allows himself to be dressed up like a Ken doll in a dress and crown, be called the "king" of an imaginary country, and feels it necessary to hide *his own family* from the subjects in his imaginary kingdom. It might be mere projection on my part, but there is a possibility that Hugo had his tongue somewhat in his cheek above. Did you notice that there were a number of "ifs" in his rap? *If* "King" Tony could extend his daily routine with a trip to a local cafe with his family. *If* "King" Tony could descend into the subway and rub shoulders with the sweaty masses. *If* "King" Tony would ever try actually teaching TM in Paris and living on a teacher's income. Honestly now...do you think any of those things ever happened? The cafe, maybe. But this Barbie-whipped Ken doll ever stepping foot into the Paris Metros? Or lowering himself to teach TM? Gimme a break. Call me crazy, but I think that many of the post- revelation attempts to "spin" this story into a scenario in which "King Tony" is either sane or admirable are in reality an attempt to preserve the image of Maharishi as either sane or admirable. "King" Ken has a multi-year history of being told what to do by MahaBarbie. I for one do not see that changing just because he frequents a sidewalk cafe in Paris from time to time.
