But nobody even asked Michele Bachmann who she'd like to be (more sexism against conservative women???). Everyone I've heard mention it, including the links posted below (including my own), say she'd want to/ought to be Wonder Woman. And I would have thought so too, until I actually thought about it. Just think about what she can do: she's got a magic (witchcraft for religious people) lasso (bondage! Eek: deviant sexual behavior! Another no-no for conservatives) that makes everyone have to tell the truth (!!!): that's the worst enemy to all politicians! It's like their Kryptonite! What if she trips and she wraps it around herself by accident? Oh no! And every politician in Washington would avoid her like the plague, because she might make them reveal their actual positions, or what crimes they're guilty of, etc., and so she could never get anyone to work with her on legislation. Plus, Wonder Woman has an invisible plane, so she'd always be in trouble with the FAA and Homeland Security, and they'd constantly accuse her of planning 9/11-style terrorist attacks, or accuse her of being responsible anytime anything ever goes wrong with air traffic anywhere, plus everyone would always ask what she's got to hide that she needs an invisible plane. It just wouldn't work for a politician to have Wonder Woman's powers.
It would be nice for a politician to have the power to make everyone else tell the truth, but it would be really hypocritical to give that power to someone who is always lying themselves. Oh, the irony!
Is there a superhero that has the powers of 100% believability with 100% lying? Then that's the man (or woman) for our politicians to want to be! Maybe he (or she) could be called "The Fibber" or "The Forthrighteous Feeling Fibber", or perhaps even "Fallacious Factman".
Here's the heroic tale:
And here is my previous piece on just this very issue of assigning superheroes to Republican candidates:
