Thank goodness I didn't diary last night... as I said before, I wanted to make this regular, in line with Kos' Fantasy straw poll. This, is even more fantasy than that, as all groups nominated will never run for President. But I need a break from my work, so I thought I'd continue my semi-regular series asking the question of who your FANTASY fantasy president would be. This time, though, I've included no actual potential candidates (not even Gore). It's all about the wackiness.
Now, the nominees for this time: (It'll work like English Premier League, in that the Bottom 4 will be dropped off the list):
1. Al...bert Pujols- Cardinals First Baseman, 22 Home Runs, has Middle America and Latino support, as well as a committment to community and to funding research on Down's syndrome. Political neophyte.
2. Steve Nash- Phoenix Suns Guard, Bush critic, and once gave $ to fund a wing of a Paraguayan hospital. Anti-Kobe stance could either help or hurt. Is also Canadian.
3. David Palmer- President who got America through Day 2 and Day 3. Just as long as Sherry Palmer is not in the picture, he should be okay.
4. Josiah Bartlett- 2-term President of the United States, elder statesman, former New Hampshire Governor. Some problems with something called Qumar, as well as allegations in regards to his MS, and the leak investigation.
5. Matthew Santos- Houston Congressman turned US President. May have issues on education measures and CAFTA.
6. Stephen Colbert- The truthiness teller himself. Could have problems with the White House Press Corps and idiots.
7. Jon Stewart- The "fake news" becomes reality. May have problems with connecting with "douchebags of liberty"
8. Keith Olbermann- Only newsman firing on all cylinders at the President at this point, though could be hurt by possible "pro-Yankees" stance.
9. Angus MacGyver- agent for the Phoenix Foundation, can solve any situation with a straw and a rubber band, which would be an asset in these Bush-stained times. However, doesn't like guns, which could be a major issue with the NRA.
10. Buffy Summers- Slays vampires, saves the world, though her pro-stake stance could hurt her with environmentalists and anti-logging groups.
11. Michael Scott- Dunder-Mifflin Scranton mananger. May have major image problem, and, like President Bush, should be kept very far away from a microphone or camera at all times.
12. Storm- The prospect of a mutant president could scare voters away, though Storm can control the weather, helping calm down the issues with the environment. Also is a much better leader than that prick Cyclops.
13. Optimus Prime- Born leader. Dead leader. Reborn leader. May have issues with anti-robot interests and those people who want us to conserve energon.
14. Armando- his troll stance will speak to Kossack Security Moms, though his personality has been known to be a little grating, leading to problems on the campaign trail.
And then there's an other section. Write who you'd like. Who knows, maybe you want Picard, Lion-O, Cheetara, Princess Zelda, Dwight Schrute, Neo, Veronica Mars, Don Vito, or even Wonder Woman?
So enjoy. This is meant to be fun. If you're offended, I apologize... no wait, I don't.
