Some names have been thrown out there but we\u2019re not that impressed, so here are 10 TV characters we think would make for good Lebanese presidents.<\/p>\n<p>  <B>1. Selina Meyer from <i>Veep<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>  Both a vice and full-fledged president of the United States, Selina Meyer knows how to keep things in order and get herself to the top. Not much will be done when she gets up there but that\u2019s no different than most of our other presidents.<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c.tenor.com\/HrzTE3fGQRkAAAAd\/veep-selina-meyer.gif\" width=\"70%\"><\/p>\n<p>  <B>2. Logan Roy from <i>Succession<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>  Logan Roy takes no bullshit and might be the only man that can stand up to Nabih Berri 1 v. 1. He is a right-wing misogynist semi-fascist narcissist but that\u2019s a small price to pay.<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c.tenor.com\/8ZN0AGc3gfQAAAAC\/go-away-leave.gif\" width=\"70%\"><\/p>\n<p>  <B>3. George Costanza from <i>Seinfeld<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>  There is no television man who better knows how to save money while doing nothing at all. Our usual candidates can only do the latter, so this is a clear step up.<\/p>\n<p>  <img src=https:\/\/c.tenor.com\/X7YxCNhUp_YAAAAC\/seinfeld-george-costanza.gif\" width=\"70%\"><\/p>\n<p>  <B>4. Dale Cooper from <i>Twin Peaks<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>  Who doesn\u2019t want their presidential palace fuelled by the ancient magic of dreams and Tibet? <\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c.tenor.com\/BLxGt4nr4JoAAAAC\/thumbs-up-dale-cooper.gif\" width=\"70%\"><\/p>\n<p>  <B>5. Ted Lasso from <i>Ted Lasso<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>  This A+ coach has shown that he has the skills to get it done with football, and we\u2019re sure he can make the transition to Lebanese politics. If everything goes south, at least we\u2019ll have good vibes and a Texas accent.<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c.tenor.com\/1qcR0hk7sAcAAAAC\/ted-lasso.gif\" width=\"70%\"><\/p>\n<p>  <B>6. Fleabag from <i>Fleabag<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>  Fleabag turned her small cafe into a centre of community. She has the entrepreneurial girl boss energy we need to save the country.<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c.tenor.com\/I-rSV5oSVhUAAAAC\/fleabag-phoebe-waller-bridge.gif\" width=\"70%\"><\/p>\n<p>  <B>7. Aang from <i>Avatar: The Last Air-Bender<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p>  Putting a 10-year-old magical kid in charge is always a no-brainer.<\/p>\n<p>  <img src=https:\/\/c.tenor.com\/8-tAOVECWzwAAAAC\/aang-avatar.gif\" width=\"70%\"><\/p>\n<p>  <B>8. Marge Simpson from <i>The Simpsons<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p>  She has had to deal with close to 30 years of shenanigans and disrespect, so she\u2019ll feel right at home in a Lebanese parliament.<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.gifer.com\/7YUZ.gif\" width=\"70%\"><\/p>\n<p>  <B>9. Sterling Archer from <i>Archer<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>  A secret agent extraordinaire that loves to drink and party, it\u2019s a good throwback to a 60s type of political corruption we have not had in a while.<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c.tenor.com\/5EZTUIK3sNgAAAAC\/archer-stirling.gif\" width=\"70%\"><\/p>\n<p>  <B>10. Saul Goodman from <i>Better Call Saul<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p>  If you need to hustle your way out of multiple crises, there\u2019s only one person you can turn to. You better call Saul!<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c.tenor.com\/pMhSj9NfCXsAAAAd\/saul-goodman-better-call-saul.gif\"
