Prominent Teapublicans and TV villains...........
I will concede that this could be my imagination working overtime but am I the only one to notice that many leaders held in high regard by the rank and file Teapublican bare a sticking resemblance to TV villains? Then and again is it possible that a number of TV villains are created to simulate popular Teapublicans?
A few examples....
John Boehner and the Smoking Man The X Files
John Andrew Boehner born November 17, 1949) is the 61st and current Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. A cowardly man incapable of controlling his own caucus remains the third in line to control a major world power. John Boehner's major function would appear to serve as the primary antagonist to any purposed progress brought forth by the Obama administration.
The Smoking Man The X Files
The Smoking man is a fictional character and the primary antagonist of the Fox science fiction television series The X-Files. He serves as the arch-nemesis of FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder, as well as being revealed to be Mulder's biological father. Although his name is revealed to purportedly be C.G.B. Spender in the show's sixth season, fans continue to refer to him as the Smoking Man because he is almost always seen chain-smoking Morley cigarettes and because he, like other series villains, has multiple aliases.
Rick Perry and Greg StillsonThe Dead Zone
James Richard "Rick" Perry (born March 4, 1950) is an American politician who is the 47th and current governor of Texas. A Republican, he was elected lieutenant governor of Texas in 1998 and assumed the governorship in December 2000 when then-governor George W. Bush resigned to become president of the United States. Under Perry's leadership Texas has achieved excellent growth largely through business friendly practices in areas of competitive income in relation to south east Asia and equally reasonable environmental and safety regulations. Rick's most notable quote to date.........
"Oops"
Gregory Ammas Stillson is a fictional character and the primary antagonist in Stephen King's The Dead Zone, played by Martin Sheen in the movie version and by Sean Patrick Flanery in the USA Network original television series.
Greg Stillson's back story in the novel is that he was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the son of an emotionally abusive oilfield worker. In high school, he helps with his mother's housepainting business. Stillson's years in high school are also marked by truancy, fighting, and one act of vandalism with a cherry bomb.
In the book, Stillson is introduced as a traveling salesman for a far-right Bible-printing company. When he stops at a dooryard in rural Iowa, Stillson is attacked and bitten by a guard dog. An enraged Stillson first sprays ammonia in the animal's eyes then brutally beats the dog to death. Fearing for his job, Stillson flees the scene. As he drives away, he comes upon the realization that he is destined for greatness, and so immediately sets about building a path towards his destiny.
Michele Bachmann and Cruella de VilThe Hundred and One Dalmatians
Michele Marie Bachmann born April 6, 1956 is an American Republican member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Minnesota's 6th congressional district, a post she has held since 2007. A candidate for the Republican nomination in the 2012 U.S. presidential election Ms. Bachmann firmly backs the GOP goal to give the U.S labor force an equal position in the world market.
"If we took away the minimum wage -- if conceivably it was gone -- we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level." -Michele Bachmann, Jan. 2005
Although a respected woman in the GOP origination it is also well known that Michele understands Women's christen place in modern American society.
"Why should I go and do something like that? But the Lord says, 'Be submissive wives; you are to be submissive to your husbands." -Rep. Michele Bachmann, recalling in a 2006 speech at a Megachurch in Minneapolis that pursuing tax law wasn't her choice, but she did so at the urging of her husband because she was certain God was speaking through him
Cruella de Vil is the main antagonist of Dodie Smith's 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians. Cruella's name is a pun of the words cruel and devil to turn them into a French-sounding woman's name, an allusion which is emphasized by having her country house nicknamed "Hell Hall". Cruella is a pampered and glamorous London heiress who knows the owner of the Dalmatian puppies through school, though it is mentioned that they were not friends. Her net wealth as mentioned in The One Hundred and One Dalmatians is £6 million. She was a menacing student with black and white plaits. She was later expelled for drinking ink. Now she is the last of her prosperous and notorious family and married to a furrier who supplies her obsession, such as the one piece she is never seen without; a white mink cloak.
OK, so on a warm, rainy, humid. summer afternoon I may have gotten a bit fanciful. Then and again can you not imagine at least one prominent Teapublican a worthy candidate for the part of TV villain or to the least a character in a 'B' rated horror movie?
Ya know, I shouldn't be going around giving people ideas.
Although there were many sources I must credit wikipedia.org for much of the information.
