“I was angry because she was raped, that’s one thing. But she was so beautiful, the mayor should have been first. What a waste.” The mayor to whom he was referring, by the way, is himself, Rodrigo “Digong” Duterte, mayor of Davao City on the southern island of Mindanao in the Philippines.

That’s the kind of dark, cruel joke most people would be embarrassed to tell (or even hear) in the privacy of their own homes, yet it’s one that Duterte, a front-running candidate for president of the Philippines, told publicly.

A YouTube video showing the mayor making these statements recently surfaced and is causing an uproar even in a country accustomed to some raunchy politics. While commentators have started referring to him as another Donald Trump, this guy makes Trump look like Mr. Rogers. Among the previous nicknames for Duterte are “the punisher” and “Duterte Harry,” after the Clint Eastwood character Dirty Harry....

“I looked at her face, son of a b—-. She looks like a beautiful American actress … what a waste,” the presidential candidate said, before making the aforementioned remarks about how he should have been first.

What is going on over there? First Manny Pacquiao's homophobic nuttiness, now this!
