TWO-DIMENSIONAL LEADERS

Chief Wiggum Now Running Central American Nation

Reader “Get Mitch Quick” sends us an important news update that CNN posted briefly in the wee hours last night, proving that the decades-long hegemony of The Simpsons extends far beyond our own borders. Within minutes, the photo of El Salvador’s new leader was gone. Why is CNN censoring the Truth? [Flickr, CNN]

    That can’t be Clancy. The hair is the wrong color. But who is it?

    JAMMIN’!

  3. Mild Midwesterner says at 10:24 am, March 16th, 2009

    Chief Wiggum’s wikipedia entry is nearly as long as Chief Geronimo’s.

  4. Hebrewzzi says at 10:26 am, March 16th, 2009

    Worst. President. Ever.

  5. mdotsota says at 10:27 am, March 16th, 2009

    Will this new Marxist Springfield give all of it’s citizens a worker of the week award? Because there’s an inatimate carbon rod doing some fantastic stuff.

  6. Perfect monday morning news story! haha

    “The final tally will be certified within 48 hours”

    Obviously we need Chief Wiggum to clean up that mess in Minnesota.

  8. Come here a minute says at 10:33 am, March 16th, 2009

    A leftist Central American president? That’s unpossible!

    Oh god, I once had a very committed, very annoying anorgasmic (hey, it wasn’t my fault) girlfriend, member of CISPES, who was in El Salvador when the peace agreement was signed & the war was over. For months afterward she acted as if she herself was responsible for ending the war. I feel sorry for whoever she’s humping now, 18 years later, as the FMLN finally take over the government.

    On the other hand, the FMLN taking over the government is continuing a nice trend in Central & South America of booting out of office the far-right lunatics where were looting their treasuries and exacerbating economic disparity. I find the prospect much more comforting than a continent full of war on drugs lackeys like in Colombia.

    “Senor Presidente, I just realized how we can make our country prosperous and pwerful.”
    “Did you have the same dream with the backwards talking little girl?”
    “I’ll drive.”

  11. Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish! says at 10:46 am, March 16th, 2009

    Mmmmmmmmmmmm…………..floor pie.

  12. ForTheTurnstiles says at 10:52 am, March 16th, 2009

    hobospacejungle: Yes… that School of the Americas thing seems like something of a wasted effort at this point.

    Pablo Neruda’s looking more than a little prophetic with his book _A Call for the Destruction of Nixon and Praise for the Chilean Revolution_ …with a title like that you know you have a winner on your hands.

  13. hobospacejungle: Reminds me of that Pixies song, ‘She’s a real left-winger cause she’s been down South…’

  14. friendlyskies says at 11:13 am, March 16th, 2009

    That totally looks like Funes! I work down here in Central America, I think he’ll be a good president, the morons like Drudge calling him a “communist” are clueless. Ditto the folks who think Funes will join the Bolivarians, good grief. Yeah, that alliance sure has done a lot for Nicaragua….where’s that US$3.4b oil refinery you promised Ortega, Hugo? But whatever. Man, I can’t wait for Obama to meet with the Central American presidents. Funes is going to cum all over himself, that guy’s man-crush is hilarious. At least we don’t have to worry about him taking ES off the dollar, not if we can get Obama on the US$3 bill. He’ll wallpaper the presidential palace with them.

  15. Double Scorpion says at 11:24 am, March 16th, 2009

    So? We had Ralph Wiggum run our country for 8 years.

  16. Mad Farmer Manifest says at 12:15 pm, March 16th, 2009

    Double Scorpion: Sleep? That’s where I’m a Viking!

  17. Double Scorpion says at 12:52 pm, March 16th, 2009

    Mad Farmer Manifest: I CHOO-CHOO-CHOO choose to ignore the rule of law.

  18. sanantonerose says at 12:55 pm, March 16th, 2009

    Double Scorpion: I like paste!

  19. CaliforniaMike says at 12:55 pm, March 16th, 2009

    Damn, you mean we had to have Dumbya as prez’nit when we coulda had Chief Wiggum?

    I don’t think God is watching out for America anymore.

  20. S.Luggo says at 12:59 pm, March 16th, 2009

    Next on CNN: Carl Carlson as Michael Steele.

  21. norbizness says at 1:13 pm, March 16th, 2009

    “And get me one of those gy-ros.” “Chief, you’re talking into your wallet.”

  22. sati demise says at 1:27 pm, March 16th, 2009

    friendlyskies: good news, its all good……gracias.

  23. assistant/atlas says at 1:46 pm, March 16th, 2009

    I, for one, welcome our new two-dimensional overlords.

  24. howell says at 2:00 pm, March 16th, 2009

    Freshman Republican Rep. Bill Posey of Florida has introduced a bill that would require presidential candidates to present proof of U.S. citizenship before running for office in El Salvador.

  25. howell says at 2:01 pm, March 16th, 2009

    Freshman Republican Rep. Bill Posey of Florida has introduced a bill that would require presidential candidates to present proof of Springfield (Simpsons) citizenship before running for office.

  26. doloras says at 2:32 pm, March 16th, 2009

    Background on the picture: the right-wing candidate for Prez was a former chief of police, opening up glorious Simpsons-related caricaturing possibilities for the FMLN.

    friendlyskies: Hey Hey! Chavez only said he’d give Ortega the oil. He never said anything about, you know, refining it… to make it useful…

  28. Numbat Dundee says at 4:58 pm, March 16th, 2009

    Jalepeno donuts for all!

  29. Bearbloke says at 8:40 pm, March 16th, 2009

    ¡Por fin! ¡Nuestra pesadilla nacional larga de líderes de carne y hueso está pasado!
