I'm sure there are many of you who feel like me, in thinking that most politicians suck. We need a celebrity to run for office. Which celebrity would you like to see run for president?

I think Ben Affleck should run, if only to save him from his string of bad movies.

Jon Stewart. He'd be awesome as president.

Yeah he would. That would be cool.

Jon Stewart. He'd be awesome as president.

He'd be great.

WILLIAM SHATNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh wait, I think he was born in Canada... damn.

MIKE MYERS!!!!!!!!!
nope, canadian again, dammit!

um...

SEAN CONNER... oh to hell with it...

"Suck it Trebbek"
~Sean Connery

Jon Stewart. He'd be awesome as president.
Another vote for Jon right here.

Neo! Or maybe Vash the Stampede. Yoda would be cool as well.

I posted 3 times before you got here!

What about Kira Yamato or Amuro Ray (Amuro was *the* original Gundam pilot)?

Jon Stewart. He'd be awesome as president.
Yes!

Jon Stewart. He'd be awesome as president.

*agrees whole-heartedly*

Jed Bartlett for President!

Jon Stewart gets another vote.

If he screwed up, we'd all be laughing about it.

*shudders*

Warren Beatty. Look at the films he's produced. He knows what's up and he has a conscience.
Oprah Winfrey. She's a billionaire on her own works, she doesn't need to be a corporate shill. She's benevolent in nature.

If this thread had a two option poll "Jon Stewart" and "Everyone else" Jon Stewart would win majorly.

sean astin, definately. he's something like the highest citizen member of the democratic national party or something like that. despite the fact that i'm republican, and he's democrat, i think i'd vote for him. and not only because i love him as an actor, but i respect him as a fan and he's such a cool person politics wise, and from interviews and the way other actors and fans talk about him, he's extremely brilliant, which is something we need in a president. he has this thing about him. he tends to think things over. he could run for president in the next election, he'd be old enough then!

of course, he's already well ahead of us:

Gary Busey! Ha

*shudders*

You shudder at the idea of gary coleman being pres. What if I said...Carrot Top? :eek: Or even worse...Michael Jackson :eek:

What about Kira Yamato or Amuro Ray (Amuro was *the* original Gundam pilot)?

I don't know, both are a bit young. Vash and Yoda have a great deal of experience and such.

You sick bastard!!!!

Gary Busey! Ha

LOL!

Charles Manson.

Charles Manson.

....

How about Marilyn Manson?

Clint Eastwood

Yeah, on reflection having a President that on the basis of some very dubious reasoning and personal vendetta leads his followers into a bloody shambles from which they cannot extricate themselves would be something of a shock for the American people.

Come on, you know that would never happen! Oh wait....

*goes to corner and cries*

He's Dead, ain't he?
For that matter, how about Paris Hilton? Now that would be a bad ass sex scandal she could cook up. She could get caught banging Charon...

You mean Sharon, Israel's PM? Didn't you see that video?

Can prisoners/convicts actually run for the Presidency in the US? - there has been at least one person serving a life sentence elected as an MP in the UK (Bobby Sands, by the way, in 1981, another - Philip Clarke - was disqualified in 1955 despite receiving a majority vote because the law then disallowed convicts from being elected).

You mean Sharon, Israel's PM?

Possibly he was actually refering to Charon, the boatman that takes lost souls across the river Styx, but I can't really follow the logic in this myself.

Robin Williams

Eugene Debs, the socialist party candidate in 1920 got 919,799 votes in prison. However he was placed in prison for protesting WWI. But it was still prison.

Was he officially on the ballot or was he a write-in and could he have actually been elected if he had beaten the opposition?

Zach de la Rocha :p

Why does America want a president to be popular above being a good leader?

I know someone probably already said him and I know he couldn't run but Arnold is the best. "I will crush Jean Kerry just like I crushed that loser Grey Davis".

I'm sure there are many of you who feel like me, in thinking that most politicians suck. We need a celebrity to run for office. Which celebrity would you like to see run for president?

I think Ben Affleck should run, if only to save him from his string of bad movies.

Mel Gibson is the only one who springs to mind who might be trustworthy. Maybe Ahhhnuld? Nahh. :D

Because, to many Americans, celebrities are a substitute for God.

Jon Stewart/Lewis Black in '08!

I would have to say Arnold. Why? Well, for a few reasons. Firstly, he's very popular with everyone, so no matter what he did, we'd still like him. Secondly, he's "skilled" in politics, which he proved when he became Govenor of California (although he did leave once the fires started). Lastly, we all know that if he invaded another country like Bush, he would be at the front lines with his heavy-artillary machine gun, blowing away the enemy and kicking ass.

Unfortunately, he can't be POTUS though, because he wasn't born in the USA.

Im not sure if anyone nomonated her but id like to see President Janine Garafalo

Mel Gibson is the only one who springs to mind who might be trustworthy. Maybe Ahhhnuld? Nahh. :D

Mel Gibson is the greatest egomaniac narcissist of our time, he would rename the White House the Mel Gibson Memorial House and the washington monument the Mel Gibson Monument and the Lincoln Memorial "Temple of God's Anoited Favorite - Mel Gibson" and have his face put on mt rushmore and rename the Pentagon the Mel Gibson Military Headquarters and rename washington DC "Mel Gibson Town."

He would also put his face on all the money. Pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, half dollars, dollar coins, ones, twos, fives, tens, twenties, fifties, hundreds... all of em.

Also he's a mullah.

ahem Mel is a aussie

I think that Edward Norton should run for president. Think about. Think about the movies. He's cool right. He has a good head on his shoulders. See where I'm coming from.

Porn Stars for President!

WOW, i was gonna vote for Ed Norton but i think Jon Stewart would definetly get things done. MY vote is for Jon. Why? Cuase he's too cool for the "H" in his first name.
