The Qaddafis and the Bluths

Mohammed Qaddafi and Gob Bluth are both the oldest sons of tyrannical fathers, and both stand in the shadows of their younger, more favored brothers. The sibling rivalry can get intense—Mohammed’s feud with younger brother Mutassim over a Coca-Cola plant ended only after a worker had been injured and a cousin had been stuffed into a car trunk, while Michael and Gob’s dueling banana stands ended with the fire department being called twice. Mohammed runs the Libyan Olympic Committee (which sends a handful of athletes to the international games), and, while it’s not even clear he wants to take over from his father, chances are, he’d like to be asked.
