Britons Want Homer Simpson as U.S. President

1 hour, 1 minute ago Oddly Enough - Reuters



LONDON (Reuters) - Doughnut-guzzling, beer-quaffing Homer Simpson may not be the model father but he has won the hearts of British TV fans who want the nuclear power plant worker to be the next U.S. president.



Former president George Bush (news - web sites) notoriously said American families should be "closer to the Waltons than the Simpsons" but Homer was overwhelming favorite in a Radio Times magazine poll on which U.S. TV character should take over at the White House.


snip...
Pompous but eloquent radio psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane was third followed by Sergeant Bilko from "The Phil Silvers Show." Gil Grissom from "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" was fifth with 10 percent of the vote. Other favorites were Jack Bauer from "24," "The Cosby Show's" Dr. Cliff Huxtable, Phoebe Buffay from "Friends" and "The Sporanos'" Tony Soprano.

Damn you, I was just feeling better after pulling my back out this weekend. Nows it hurts again. Okay, so I lied, it has hurt for two days and I was looking for someone to blame. That did make me laugh though. Only 3 hours til my chiro appointment.
