10 TV Characters That Would Make For Better Lebanese Presidents

Michel Aoun’s term ends in a month and no candidate has been agreed upon for president yet. Some names have been thrown out there but we’re not that impressed, so here are 10 TV characters we think would make for good Lebanese presidents.

1. Selina Meyer from Veep

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’s no different than most of our other presidents.

2. Logan Roy from Succession

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’s a small price to pay.

3. George Costanza from Seinfeld

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.

4. Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks

Who doesn’t want their presidential palace fuelled by the ancient magic of dreams and Tibet?

5. Ted Lasso from Ted Lasso

This A+ coach has shown that he has the skills to get it done with football, and we’re sure he can make the transition to Lebanese politics. If everything goes south, at least we’ll have good vibes and a Texas accent.

6. Fleabag from Fleabag

Fleabag turned her small cafe into a centre of community. She has the entrepreneurial girl boss energy we need to save the country.

7. Aang from Avatar: The Last Air-Bender

Putting a 10-year-old magical kid in charge is always a no-brainer.

8. Marge Simpson from The Simpsons

She has had to deal with close to 30 years of shenanigans and disrespect, so she’ll feel right at home in a Lebanese parliament.

9. Sterling Archer from Archer

A secret agent extraordinaire that loves to drink and party, it’s a good throwback to a 60s type of political corruption we have not had in a while.

10. Saul Goodman from Better Call Saul

If you need to hustle your way out of multiple crises, there’s only one person you can turn to. You better call Saul!
