A Bill Clinton action figure. It hasn't been announced, but I figure it's just a matter of time. Playmate's "World of Springfield: The Simpson's" line has been going quite successful for almost two years now, and they're branching out with "Celebrity" figures in the coming year. Although no Clinton action figure has been announced, since Clinton did "guest star" in a few episodes, I think its only time. Heck, I don't know if Gore or Bush made any appearances (I know Bush Sr. did), but this could lead to some fun situations ... ("Dude, is that action figure of Bill Clinton punching Bush Sr. in the face?" "Yeah, and why is Marge giving Dubya a handjob?")

Wow. Think of the comedic implications of thousands of America's school children playing with mini-Bill Clintons. Five bucks says that it'll have that Kung-Fu action hand grip.

It's better to at least have an action-figure made in your image, than none at all (Who'd want to play with a Dubya AF anyway? I mean: besides flushing it down the toilet, driving over it with a truck, performing some ritual voodoo magic on it, breaking its limbs, electrocuting it in the bathtub, or microwaving it at maximum power, I don't see how there could be a market for one.)

Well, as I mentioned, you could have people gasp in amazement of a Marge & Dubya pose. Then again, whats the good of any action figure? I mean, what's a person going to do with a Bleeding Gums Murphy figure? Or, for that matter, a Bill Clinton figure? I really don't think I want to know.

Al Gore's been on it a few times as well:"This calls for a celebration." "You are hearing me talk." I have a vague idea that Bush Jnr has been shown, but I can't for the life of me think where.

Well, Homer set up a couple of dolls outside of Bush 41's door to trick him into coming outside, then hid and told 41 that they were Jeb and Jr., coming for a visit...

I lost the link, but during a break from my all-nighter (damn paper), I found a website which his an episode guide for each ep to feature a U.S. president -- it's really quite amazing. Lincoln's got more then anybody. I'll have to find it again.

snpp.com is pretty much the definitive Simpsons web-site anyway. Like TheForce.net, but with worse graphics and better content.

Does the Bill Clinton doll come with free dry cleaning? Hate to have to clean up the kids clothes myself.
