GUESS THE DICTACTOR/CONSUMER ADVOCATE: On the heels of Sharpton's powwow last year with Yasser Arafat in Ramallah, two more Americans who claim to be leaders in the fight for "social justice" are visiting this week with brutal, anti-American dictators: Ralph Nader is hangin' with Fidel Castro in Cuba, while Louis Farrakhan is spending quality time in Baghdad with Saddam Hussein (Farrakhan himself infamously visited Moammar Ghadafi a few years ago). Well, you can't really fault Farrakhan, since this is probably his last chance to see Saddam alive. With all the fun American activists have been having with such despotic criminals, could a visit by Michael Moore with the mullahs of Iran be far behind?
