After watching The Daily Show for the first time via TV and not paid for through iTunes or viewed via proxy (rant over) It was pleasant viewing and about time this happened (but what about Mr. Colbert?!) However the segment I referring to featured the UK's funniest import John Oliver trying to find the perfect USA democrat props minus the yellow stripe down their back.
In general It's about finding the right stereotype to please the masses. Perfect combination for the USA would be Gay (we all love and respect the them. Have to really) A non real American (Latin or Black) Class- Middle with a well know job title everyone can relate to and be proud of – Army (Iraq and Afghan preferred) and walking everyday with Jesus is always a great bonus. Language has to be clear English. So all can understand dialogue. (Don't know why no one has thought Chinese or Asian combo would be great).
Would a disabled angle be good? Here in the UK that would actually work with the Superhuman Olympics coming soon. Army related injury would draw attention as always. Something about fighting for a flag/country just brings out strange irrational reactions that defy belief from somepeople - Sarah Palins quote last-night was a classic example of just incredible 'Trace decay'
Maybe the words of the 'Dark One' will see her be less vocal this election.
Ultimate combo for me would be - Banker whom served in army who is gay or saved by one who is Gay and is a fiscal conservative.
Republic prop or any political figure needs to have substance but maybe minus logic and memory, if that makes sense. Logic - 'Valid Reasoning’ or 'System of reasoning' something most politicians don't seem to understand or need. It would be great to see the republican/conservative party find the perfect prop for the masses to relate to, but I need to pay more attention to UK and USA's up and coming party leaders.
