[QUOTE=Fretful Porpentine] Well, I figured from your other answers that you probably weren’t Romeo Montague, but I thought I’d double-check 🙂 DQ: Are you from the United States? [/QUOTE] No. To recap: I AM: male, living, and in politics I AM NOT: an entertainer, a Republican, or from the United States **Zeldar** : No, I’m not Ray Milland. **SurrenderDorothy** : I can’t say for certain that I did or didn’t, but I can’t think of the famous person you have in mind, so ask a DQ at your pleasure. **Taber** : I’ll start guessing your **CC** once my identity is deduced. ---

[QUOTE=Zeldar] [This Wikipedia article shows Rashid Meredov of Turkmenistan](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_foreign_ministers_in_2007) as foreign minister. I’ll defer to your definition of “head of state” before claiming a DQ. [/QUOTE] Well, foreign minister is equivalent to Secretary of State – both serve _under_ the head of state or head of government. Had you said “high government official”, I’d accept a DQ, but I think it’s only fair to take Rashid Meredov off the table for the remainder of this round. On preview, however, I see you’ve guessed my identity – yes, I am President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe. So **Surrender Dorothy** ’s question about dating people of one’s own ethnicity did lead me to wonder if she knew something specific about me that I may not be able to recall at the moment. 🆒 ---

So, should we all hop on the CC that’s already in progress? Shame about the wasted Steve Vai question, though! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/botticelli-round-3/396024.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/botticelli-round-3/396024.md?page=9)
