Best Fake President Ever

October 8, 2008

Paris Hilton’s campaign for president continues.

As you may recall, the hotel heiress was inspired to join the political fray—via a spoof ad on FunnyOrDie.com—when Sen. John McCain’s campaign fielded an ad mocking his Democratic opponent, Barack Obama, as Paris Hilton-esque celebrity status.

While she didn’t exactly make good on her threat to “see you at the debates, bitches,” Hilton has returned with a new video in which she seeks advice on being “fake president” from one TV’s most popular fake presidents, Martin Sheen.

Just the other day, we were discussing famous fake presidents from the world of television, from Sheen’s Jed Bartlett on The West Wing to Dennis Haysbert’s David Palmer on 24 to Geena Davis’ Mackenzie Allen on Commander in Chief.

As the real Election Day approaches, we’d love to hear from you on the subject of fake presidents. Add a comment below and tell us who your favorite small-screen president is.
