kellinator: (Queen of Snark by arkhamrefugee)
[personal profile] kellinator

Reasons I Would Make a Really Bad President:

  • I would probably break the bed in the Lincoln Bedroom by jumping up and down on it.
  • Cabinet meetings would be completely unproductive because I would keep interrupting the Secretary of State going "Have you guys seen that web cartoon about the end of the world? What about the Kenya one? No really, y'all have got to see this. Hey Colin, gimme your laptop..."
  • In the middle of the State of the Union address, I'd invite the entire country to join me in taking a break to check our LiveJournals.
  • Then I would attempt to explain major policy points by using Sifl and Olly-style sock puppets.
  • Then I would say "fuck" (as in, "Saudi Arabia needs to stop fucking around with us") and get fined by the FCC.
  • Insistence on being called "Madame President, Queen of Snark, There Is None Higher, Bow-Chicka-Wow-Wow" not likely to win me any friends.
  • Injudicious use of snark is liable to lead to nuclear war.
  • If I got pissed off at heads of state from countries known for their treatment of women as second-class citizens, I'd probably make a disparaging remark about their penis size. See previous bullet point about nuclear war.
  • Sending Secret Service agents to scare the poop out of people who picked on me in high school is not a legitimate use of taxpayer dollars.
  • Margarita Friday crowd is likely to trash the White House.
  • Hell, I'm liable to trash the White House. Say it with me: "Madame President doesn't do housework."
  • Drawing moustaches on the portraits of former presidents I didn't like is not very Presidential.
  • Executive order ordering Dick Wolf to make Law and Order stop sucking. (Wait. That's a reason I'd make a good President.)
  • The War Room would get renamed "The Warlord Room" and would promptly be filled up with gaming terrain and my half-painted miniatures.
  • Push for the "Justifiable Homicide: Needed Killin'" defense will piss off the entire judicial branch.

But on the bright side, we wouldn't waste any time on scandals from my past, because my standard answer would be "Yeah, that's me in the photo chugging a margarita and making an obscene gesture, what's your point?"

Thanks! I needed that laugh. :) And I think it serves as a good reminder of all the ways *I* would make a bad president as well. You rock.

Is there really such a thing as "meaningful political commentary"????

You can also have me run through the halls yelling, bumping into various door frames and busting them.

(Love the list... very creative!)

Madame President...

Executive order ordering Dick Wolf to make Law and Order stop sucking. (Wait. That's a reason I'd make a good President.)

Oh, can I friend you? And, I have to say that I think the only thing wrong with the original Law & Order at the moment was the retirement of the King of Wisecrack in favor of the King of Spootheads. Ugh, I can't STAND Det. I Think I'm Too Damned Good for This Job and Too Damned Good for this City.

Anyway, Bobby Goren more than makes up for him. Alex Eames, too. (see my journal)

NOTE: RIP Jerry Orbach!

This made me giggle. And quite honestly, I must say, I'd like to have a president who actually paid attention to pop culture.

You know... if you were president, maybe you could dissassemble the FCC. Then you could say anything you wanted.

Well, inciting nuclear war notwithstanding.

Oooh, miniatures! What kinda miniatures?

I'm working on some Bretonnian Knights-Errant (Warhammer) for myself and some 40K stuff for guys at the game shop who are too lazy to paint.

Reaper Miniatures, mostly. They've got a great new skirmish game called Warlord that I'm trying to paint up an elf army for.

I think that would be a reason in itself for the Americans to elect you. All that debate about personal stuff that happened 20-30-40 years ago, when kids today do far worse, must be so tedious. Some politicians that stand up for their actions wouldn't be a bad thing.

I'd stand up for my actions... if I could only remember them!

Seriously, I totally agree with you. (Also, I hate politicians who babble about "character" when they've got dozens of skeletons in their own closets.)
