You really shouldn’t have bothered. Perhaps I shouldn’t reply, since my unhappy simile would at least then have managed to intrigue one reader. Poorly educated Chinese people in rural areas tend to chain smoke. Hence, “smoking like Angelina”. Sorry. Best I could manage in my competitive urge to live up to the high standards the board sets in terms of humour.
Bill Maher would totally work for me. Shit, I’d donate the maximum personally.
Another one is Jim Thompson. I know it’s cheating since he was a long standing Senator, and I honestly have no idea what his politics are, but I love listening to the guy talk. He was great on L&O and loved him in the Clancy movies.
Warren Beatty. Especially if he was anything at all like Bulworth.
[Bulworth on race relations]
“Everybody just gotta keep fuckin’ everybody 'til they’re all the same color.”

But seriously, I do think Beatty would make a good president.
Robert Duvall
Ooh good call, Moto.
Nobody has nominated Jon Stewart yet?? That’s okay. I want him to stay where he is anyway.
Tom Selleck comes to mind. Someone said Morgan Freeman. That sounds good.
Leonard Nimoy because he’s so dam logocal.
Imagine Dinero turning to his opponent during the debate and saying “You talkin’ to me?”
For Angelina’s VP I’d have Sophie Marceau. Think they’d make a good team.
Only if he’s in Gamera mode as seen on South Park.
MEGA-POITIER! MEGA-POITIER!
Wile E Coyote.
He and Acme Corporation would soon sort out Iraq.
Ben Stein opposed Schwartzenegger as Gov over the abortion issue. Stein is a pro-lifer, apparently. I was surprised at how open he was about it.
I’d go with that, just to see the reaction from this wacko. His head would explode.
Tom Hanks. He’d jumpstart the space program.
I’ve wanted Morgan Freeman to be the President for real ever since I saw him play one in Deep Impact.
He’s a fairly conservative Republican – or did you know that?
Edward James Olmos. He’d garner the Hispanic vote, not to mention the AP Calculus vote, Miami Vice vote, Battlestar Galactica vote, etc. And, he’s a hell of a good guy with some cojones.
It may be worth mentioning that Kinky Friedman is running for Governor of Texas. I expect that he will place second in the general election, given that no one in the state’s Democratic party is going to commit suicide by running. Considering that he used to front the Texas Jewboys, his liberal-to-moderate platform is surprisingly well thought out.
Probably why he picked him. Damned good choice too.
I don’t hang out in GD, so there’s plenty of people whose politics I don’t know. I couldn’t tell from his post where he was coming from.
Uma Thurman for President, Steve Buscemi for Vice-President. Both pretty damn smart, both compassionate, they have experienced life outside the bubble of Hollywood (especially Steve who was a furniture removalist and fireman), and you need glamour and the ability to think on your feet from the Prez and humour and broadmindedness and quick wit from the Vice-Prez.
I think he’s more of a libertarian. In interviews, he’s called himself an anarchist.
