Any fat presidential candidates to vote for?

I think ever since TV got so popular, there haven't been any "real" fat men elected to the presidency. I think it's a shame. In the old days, chances were very high a voter never even saw the candidate he (I purposefully did not say he/she) was voting for, at most he would see a portrait sketch of the candidate's mug - not much to go by. People (maybe) were more in tune with what the candidate actually said and what he stood for and whether he had any integrity or not, rather than whether he was photogenic (didn't Nixon learn that lesson in some nearly forgotten debate 45 years ago, yet the Rep's and Dem's parties high-ups have never forgot). We always get these skinny (by modern US standards at least) photogenic worthless scumbags to choose from now.

I personally would like to vote for a fat man. I know what you are all thinking, that Clinton ate a lot of burgers and was fat. But no, he wasn't fat, he was average build for this country, not fat, people liked to make fun of him because it made them feel better about their own inability to control their eating habits. But really, it's been a long, long time since we had a really, really fat President. Too long, IMO.


Anybody but Bush, and preferably a real fatass.

Bush is a fat cat, does that count? ;)

Otherwise, write in Taft. It worked for Carnahan. :)
