Yet Another Presidential Metaphor

November 26, 2010 - 3:14 pm - by Ed Driscoll

Ultimate Nanny State president’s distant relationship with voters called into question by America’s most popular television nanny:

“The Fran Drescher Tawk Show,” yes, a play on that annoying unique accent of hers, is a daily, one-hour entertainment talk show set to debut on FOX on November 26, featuring Drescher’s commentary on everything from “pedicures to politics.”Let’s dive in to the latter, shall we?

The former sitcom star feels President Obama has a long way to go in terms of successfully leading the country.

“He needs to work on being a father figure for the nation, I really think that’s an important component in being President and that was exemplified by Roosevelt,” she told Pop Tarts. “Even though everything was so awful, he [Roosevelt] would get out there and make everybody feel like he’s got their back and just hang in and we’re going to get through this.”

Drescher is even considering running for elected office herself.

“I think that this show might be a nice bridge towards that ultimate goal, but I think that I may find that this is a great forum to be able to share my passion and patriotism and desire to do things for the greater good,” she said. “(If I was to run) I would really make education a very big platform of mine because at the end of the day, all roads lead there, and if we think education is expensive, just stop and think what ignorance costs us.”

No word yet if Bobbi Flekman will be handling Drescher’s campaign PR.

    Please tell me she’s planning to run as a democrat! Please please …

    Some twenty years ago Fran Drescher experienced a brutal and humiliating rape. She may not be wrapped too tight. Her decision to become a talk show host may be a way to get rid of her demons.

  3. The difference between conservatives and liberals is this, the conservative thinks the common man needs a daddy to tell him what to do, and he is that daddy. The liberal thinks the common man needs a daddy to tell him what to do, and that daddy is somebody else.
