*chuckle* An accurate description of the President's lack of nous.
I suspect one of the things the Turks had been doing with Rufus in the background was giving him a copy of the list (Rufus tends to strike me as the type who could have done quite a bit to improve things if he'd just been given the time and the chance; mind you, he wound up saddled with Heidegger, Scarlet and Palmer as three of the main board members, which slowed him down a lot) and pointing out how this sort of thinking would be useful in the long run. To start with, if you follow the thinking in the Evil Overlord List to its logical conclusion, you're ensuring you're going to get a long run, which is always useful.
