Continuing to enjoy the “Election 2000 revisited” plotlines on “The West Wing.” Tonight they dealt with a third-party candidate who threatened to siphon votes away from the President, and debates where the unschooled Republican challenger would triumph just by being able to form recognizable English words.
Any of this sound familiar?
Except in the West Wing Universe, the third-party candidate gracefully bowed out, and no doubt the lovable egghead President will find a way to triumph in the debate.
Fiction can be comforting and hollow at the same time. Know what I mean?
Well if it was Sheen running against bush instead of Gore, the dems probably would have won in reality too.
Probably, except for Sheen’s insanely diminuitive size. If they had debated, Sheen would have looked like Tattoo next to Bush’s Roarke.
Adam’s right. I had heard he was short, but I wasn’t prepared for how small he actually looks in person. I’m only 6′ tall, I’m not used to towering over people.
Well, that would make Sheen a shoe-in for state senate — state politicians tend toward the Napoleonic, or so I’m told.
That would make it easy on the secret service… they could smuggle him in a briefcase while a stand-in misled the snipers.
