Homer Simpson Favorite on Which TV Character should be US President
Edited on Mon Oct-25-04 07:09 AM by Champ
LONDON (Reuters) - Doughnut-guzzling, beer-quaffing Homer Simpson may not be the model father but he has won the hearts of British TV fans who want the nuclear power plant worker to be the next U.S. President.



Former president George Bush (news - web sites) notoriously said American families should be "closer to the Waltons than the Simpsons" but Homer was overwhelming favourite in a Radio Times magazine poll on which U.S. TV character should take over at the White House.


As Americans ponder tax and security pledges from President George W. Bush (news - web sites) and Democratic rival John Kerry (news - web sites) ahead of the November 2 poll, television fans have been considering Homer slogans such as "No big government, just big waist sizes".


In a manifesto compiled for the magazine by The Simpsons' writing staff, the bumbling animated TV hero also pledges: "I promise there will be fewer nuclear disasters with me as your mayor than with me as your nuclear safety inspector."
