TV or movie character that personifies both the meanness and cowardliness of *.

[alphafemale]

For me it is Percy Whetmore. From the Green Mile.

Character came complete with political connections.

Couldn't find a pic of him alone.

[GCP]

1. For sheer bat-shit craziness - Greg Stillson from "The Dead Zone"

He's * as far as I'm concerned

[alphafemale]

16. Except * could physically use a kid as a human shield

And Faux News and Limpballs would have a spin on it where * was a hero and the kid and his family were trashed.

[liberaldemocrat7]

28. I need to relate from real life: Charles Manson and Caligula.

Bush rants like Charlie Manson and like Manson has other people kill his victims.

On the subject of Caligula, Bush does not appear very loved by a vast majority of the people.

[Kool Kitty]

24. That's the one that came to my mind, too.

"The missiles are flying. Hallelujah."

[Lisa]

2. Dr. Smith in "Lost in Space"

Cowardly, makes other people do his work for him, and won't take responsibility when he messes up.

[alphafemale]

17. Yeah. He should have been sent into the corn field.

Was that reference too obscure?


:hi:

[Lisa]

30. not obscure at all! Bush actually reminds me a lot of that kid ...

Only not as cute.

(I wonder if Stephen Colbert was thinking of that ... he said in the Larry King interview that he glanced over at Bush during that dinner in D.C., when he'd finished his comedy bit and they were screening a video clip ... and Bush wasn't laughing, but staring at him intently. Colbert said that he got the chills.)

[peekaloo]

3. Frank Burns from M*A*S*H

both are bible thumping power hungry/crazed incompetent ferret faced lipless wonders.

[Kutjara]

11. That's my choice too.

:hi:

[Richard Steele]

13. I can't think of any character more similar.

Burns eventually went AWOL as well, and also
suffered no ill consequences for it, IIRC.

[SeattleGirl]

32. Another vote for Frank Burns.

He's got that insaneness about him that Bush has.

[Shakespeare]

4. Nellie Olssen from Little House on the Prairie. n/t

[KitchenWitch]

18. Better yet, Nellie Oleson's mother.

[alphafemale]

20. Yeah. From what I rememer Nellie got a lot better when she grew up.

Then Mom Olson adopted another kid and proceded to teach it wretched behavior.

[Deja Q]

5. Not Dr. Zaius from Planet of the Apes?

[alphafemale]

21. Are you kidding? Far too intelligent.

And with it...

6. Charles Montgomery Burns

"Release the hounds"

[Kingofalldems]

7. Chatsworth Osborne Jr.

The arrogant rich kid in the old Dobie Gillis show.

[XemaSab]

8. Ebeneezer Scrooge

without the whole redemption factor. :P

[alphafemale]

23. Yeah...A certain scene if it had been * ...unredeemed

Hey you there!

Yes..sir?

What day is it?

Why it's Christmas day!

Oh then I haven't missed it...say is the prize goose still hanging down at the butchers?

You mean the one as big as me? Yes!

Then why don't you go fetch it for me. I want to practice some stress postures with it.

[ThoughtCriminal]

9. Warden Norton

from the Sahshank Redemption. Actually he reminds me of several sadist-meglomaniac wardens from the movies.

[alphafemale]

25. That is one evil bastard.

[Initech]

10. Billy Bob Thornton's character from Bad Santa

Drinks constantly, exhibits sadistic behavior toward minors, threatens anyone he doesn't agree with, and thinks that everyone is trying to get his money.

[FloridaJudy]

12. "Mrs. Coulter"

From The Golden Compass. Okay, so far it's still just a book, but they're releasing the movie soon (I can't wait). Mrs. Coulter is supposed to be clever though, unlike her sound-alike real life counterpart, and GW. I feel asleep re-reading The Golden Compass last night, and dreamed Ann Coulter was lurking in my closet, along with a horde of venomous snakes. On awakening, I felt rather sorry for the snakes.

Oh, and Dolores Umbridge. No one said the character had to be male.


Separated at birth?

[alphafemale]

14. I think she looks like Pickles.

:scared:

[susanna]

15. OMG, straight up. Percy Whetmore. n/t

[Wheezy]

19. Um... that Thompson dude? nt.

[Deep13]

22. I thought Bush WAS a TV character.

You mean he's really the president?! Holy Jesus Christ! How did that happen? What happened to President Gore?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

26. General Mireau from "Paths of Glory" and Charles Logan from "24."

[Orsino]

27. The Dauphin from Branagh's Henry V.

Full of brags and insults, but otherwise useless, and unable to understand why the war he helped start isn't winnable. He says, in effect, "Bring it on," and King Harry brings it, all right.

[CBHagman]

33. I was just watching that the other day.

The Dauphin is certainly a major ass, particularly in his pre-battle bluster at Agincourt. But he at least fights on the battlefield himself, which is more than the Chimperor ever attempted.

Information on Branagh's film:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097499/

[Sugar Smack]

29. William Macy's role in FARGO.

:nuke: Jerry Lundegaard.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

34. I could totally see that.

[nytemare]

31. Last time I watched Green Mile, I thought the same thing.

He reaped the benefits from having well-placed relatives, without having to exert himself at all. No matter what errors he made, and I don't say mistakes, because his incidents had malicious intent, they were covered up due to his relative. He was a smug prick, and in the end, got what he deserved. But, that was fiction.

[SteppingRazor]

35. Not my favorite movie by a long shot, but how 'bout Billy Zane in Titanic? n/t

[ThatsMyBarack]

36. C. Montgomery Burns

Nufsed.
