I don't see anything wrong with a person calling a head of state mean names.

That's like the definition of political speech.

Yeah. "Smelly goatfucker" might not be the most political of insults, but the guy certainly made a point (plus he did have actual politics in there, e.g. the one on suppressing minorities).

Also, I'm glad that this §103 will be canned - it's uncomfortably close to the Lèse-majesté laws e.g. in Thailand (that are actually used to suppress political opposition).
