NorthOffice said "OK. I don't want a ruler. That better?"

So, why not enlighten me as to just what it is that you want?

Without men to rule like President Bush and Tony Blair, you'll be gettin' out your prayer mat, grabbin' your Koran and headin' for the mosque.

The author is simply bending Biblical terminology to our own time. GW Bush is the closest analogue to a Biblical "ruler," so the author just uses that word instead of tortured prose in making his point.
