Moe of The Three Stooges Would Be Elected President in 2008 if He Was Alive
Somehow this current election has gotten me thinking about my childhood heroes, The Three Stooges. Quite simply the Three Stooges were everyones heroes. I never heard one person say anything bad about them. All of which got me thinking, if the Three Stooges were alive today, they could be as big as the Kennedy’s and Moe Howard could be elected president.
For the purpose of this blog, assume the Three Stooges were hypothetically in their 60’s and Curly would not have died at an early age. The best thing the Stooges politically would have going for them is they they transcend prejudice. Even Anti-Semitics love the Three Stooges, I think.
In my alternative universe, after realizing that they’ve been ripped off for ages by the studios, Moe gets angry and becomes the President of SAG, the Screen Actors Guild. Under Moe’s leadership, the actors and the studios enjoy their greatest years of prosperity. Instead of Arnold Schwarzenegger, somehow Moe becomes Governor of Los Angeles and Larry becomes the Mayor of Los Angeles. Curly sticks to Show Biz, replaces Jay Leno on The Tonight Show and produces record breaking ratings. Moe becomes Los Angeles favorite Governor, and is considered the man of the people. Everybody loves Moe and everywhere he goes his constituents all want him to poke them in the eyes. Larry is a relatively quiet Mayor as things are running smoothly on his watch and he’s not involved in any sex scandals.
The people think its time for a change and Moe Howard easily wins the Democratic nomination for President. Nevertheless he’s still considered the underdog. That all changes when during his initial debate with John McCain, John says something Moe doesn’t like and Moe calmly walks over to him and pokes him in the eyes. The audience is in shock. John McCain then says, “do you want someone who can’t control himself for president?” Moe then walks over to McCain and says puzzling, “Can’t Control myself? Why you!” and then bops him on the head and slaps him several times across each side of the face. McCain then repeats, “do you want this man to be president” and Moe walks back to him and says “I’m sorry let me give you something to make amends” and takes a custard pie hidden behind his back and smashes it on McCain’s face. McCain then says, “this is a disgrace, this debate is over” and the audience gives Moe a standing ovation, and there are 5 minutes of shouts of “Moe,Moe,Moe”. The media doesn’t acknowledge that the audience is on Moe’s side. On November, 4, 2008, Moe Howard is elected president and the United States is a better place.
