In my November 4th entry, I went off on a tangent and wondered what it might be like if Charles Xavier, leader of the X-Men, were president. I also said that I would expand on that idea at a later date. Well, Stephen Colbert in his 11/13/08 episode of the Colbert Report picked up my slack. Yes, I know I'm late posting this. Shoot me.
He appears on the cover of one of the variants of Amazing Spider-man #573. He had a lot of funny things in that episode.
-He was strong in the demographics of invisible women and elastic dads.
-He may have lost independent votes due to his stance against same Thing marriages.
-J. Jonah Jameson pulled a Dewey Defeats Truman and announces that Colbert won the election only to retract the next day as Colbert won the popular vote but lost in the electoral college to Obama.
-His loss is probably because the elderly people in Broward County, Florida accidently voted for Thor.
-He would have fixed our economy with the help of his Treasury Secretary, billionaire industrialist Tony Stark.
-He would have stopped illegal Skrulls from streaming across our space borders.
-He would have arrested the Silver Surfer for public indecency and made him wear silver pants.
-He would have reached across the aisle to DC Comics.
-He has a close, personal relationship with Superman.......although they've never been seen together. Hmmmmm.
I'm glad I never got around to writing my blog entry. Colbert was much funnier than I could have been. However I do think he missed out one one small item.
People want to keep the U. S. out of wars. I give you Secretary of Defense Wolverine. We'd likely never have to go to war with anybody, but if we did, the war would be really, really short.I would also suggest Secretary of Homeland Security Wolverine. Terrorists will think twice before inviting perforation with adamantium claws.
Before anyone says anything.....No, I don't really think Stephen Colbert is reading my blog.
I think one of his writers is. ;-)
