Edwards did fine when asked for the leaders of Canada, Mexico, Iraq, Italy and Germany, correctly giving Matthews the last names of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, President Felipe Calderon, President Jalal Talabani, Premier Romano Prodi and Chancellor Angela Merkel.

"What don't we know here," a seemingly surprised Matthews said, to which Edwards quickly taunted, "Keep going."

Edwards was tripped up only when asked for the leader of South Africa, unable to come up with President Thabo Mbeki.

I am relieved that he got most of them right, and happy to see that, by Matthews's standards, I am a genius in foreign policy, though the test does not seem too hard for somebody who wants to be president.

How low have we fallen? Somebody who wants to be president should know the name of the leaders of the tho neighboring countries, two major European countries, and the country we are stuck in. Bush was the exception, not the norm.
