Moammar Gadhafi: The Name Calling Never Let Up - Yahoo! News

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, killed Thursday in a rebel uprising in Sirte, will be remembered in the annals of name calling. Few leaders have been called more vile names than Gadhafi, and he had a few choice names of his own for foreign dignitaries.

Gadhafi also used a series of egotistical nicknames to refer to himself.

Here's a rundown on all that name-calling:

Names Others Called Gadhafi

Moammar Gadhafi was not a popular figure and many pols and pundits used derogatory nicknames to describe him. Here are some of the most common:

Former U.S. President Ronald Reagan nicknamed Gadhafi "mad dog of the Middle East."

He was called "a Barbary pirate" and the "king of international terrorism," according to UPI.

The Central Intelligence Agency dubbed him a "messianic paranoid."

Egyptian leader Anwar Sadat said Gadhafi was "an infantile nitwit."

The former president of Sudan said Gadhafi was "someone suffering from a split personality-both evil."

Vitaly Naumkin of the Russian Academy of Sciences soft-pedaled his name-calling, saying of Gadhafi in March, "probably he has lost his link with reality."

The blog Swiss matters says Gadhafi has also been called "Flakey Barbarian," "Ruthless Dictator," "Fashion King," and "Terrorist Financier."

Names Gadhafi Called Himself

Gadhafi himself preferred the nicknames "Colonel," "brother leader," "guide of the revolution," and "king of kings," "Great Leader," and "Dean of Arab rulers." The "king of kings" appellation was not one of his own creation but one bestowed on him by 200 African leaders. Another flattering moniker was "keeper of Arab Nationalism."

Names Gadhafi Called Other Leaders

Gadhafi had a particular distaste for U.S. Ronald Reagan, calling him "mad," "foolish," and "an Israeli dog."

He insulted Saudi King Abdullah in a 2009 meeting, dismissing him as "a British product." He said, "You are always lying, and you're facing the grave, and you were made by Britain and protected by the United States."

At a 1988 Arab summit, he accused other leaders of having "blood-stained hands" and wore a white glove to avoid skin contact during a handshake.

At a 2005 Arab summit, Gadhafi called the Israelis and Palestinian's "idiots."
