We've already tried a politician and had him act like a comedian, perhaps if we install a comedian......

If these were to run for office, for whom would you vote? (see poll)

I'm going to print screen and send the results to the winning person on the poll, so comment on this thread.

I am fairly certain it is "Stewart" not "Stuart"

if jon stewart ran for pres, i would vote for him

Damn it, no way to edit polls is there?

Hey, post on this thead, I'll send the results to the winner of the poll.

I vote John Stewart, because he is just so cool. If he were elected he would just be like, " Je t'aime le Shoe." And we would all be like "OH, Oh, OOOOOOH!"

As long as Lewis Black is his Vp yea.

Jon Stewart, the Philosopher King of 2006.

Yea, because we all know celebrities make great leaders....

Electing John Stewart as President would be as fucked up as electing the Terminator Governor of California.

Jon* Stewart is very intelligent. probably more so than anyone in the government right now...

I think it would be very funny to see Jon Stewart run for presidency, especially since he would probobly get quite afew votes. I think Jon Stewart would do a much better job than some other people who might run, (I do not know who will run, I am just talking about politicians in general here). I would love to see him run, but I doubt he is going to do so.

maybe he can run against hillary :D

Reagan was president, why not Stewart?

Right, because he is funny he must be intelligent.

Well, he would know how to deal with a bastard like himself.

right.

Because he has yet to show that he is capable of leading the most powerful nation on Earth? I find Stewart funny, I also find the Marx Brothers funny. Should I use my powers to bring them back to life so they can lead the US?

maybe he can run against hillary :D

He would win the primaries against her for democrats.

If he wasn't a democrat, he would wipe the floor with her.

She should be his vice president. I want a clinton in office, but hillary needs a really, really pointless job.

At least she won't shoot anyone.

He has shown himself to be very intelligent, thats enough for me to vote him in.

I was just making the point that celebrities have gotten into office.

I don't like any of the poll choices.......

personally, i think Sinbad should be on there...

Actually a pirate as president wouldn't be such a bad idea.

The only problem with a pirate as president is I am not sure a pirate is someone you can look up to.

surely you could replace Ben Stiller with Ben Stein, he is much more intelligent and just as funny (although it's a different kind of funny, but yeah.)

Because he has yet to show that he is capable of leading the most powerful nation on Earth?

Yeah... because THAT has proved to be so critical to the voter...

I nominate Eddie Izzard. I think what America needs right now, is a surrealistic 'executive transvestite'.

I also find the Marx Brothers funny. Should I use my powers to bring them back to life so they can lead the US?

Short answer: Yes!

Long answer: Yes, and let me know if my powers can aid you in this goal.

I almost put him instead of Ben Stiller

Hmmm, we have a man in office on the basis (basicly) that he is a failed buisnesman, and a son of an ex-president, and that is deemed acceptable. Yet, somehow, having a comedic/satirical social commentator from whom most of America gets informed is not? Hes a charasmatic intellectual whose ideas are known to all; this isn't a wild card. We know he cares about the issues, and about people.

I'm going to stop typing now as I am dangerously close to cupping Jon's balls.

George Carlin would be much better than anyone in the poll :P

Lewis Black baby!
