Pick some atlasians (past or present) and try to find the real-life politician who looks more like each one. You can choose politicians from any country.

Here is my list :

Hashemite : Pierre Mendès-France
Marokai : Nancy Pelosi or Dennis Kucinich
Hamilton : Richard Nixon (a manipulating crook with sane but changing political views)
Kalwejt : Lionel Jospin, for obvious reasons Tongue
DWTL : Rush Limbaugh, or Frédéric Lefebvre (an intellectually dishonest hack without any credibility and ridiculously proud of himself)
Keystone Phil : Silvio Berlusconi Grin
Fab : François fillon

I'll try to complete it later. Do your own ! Wink

Rush is a politician?

Lefebvre sin't really a politician too, in fact... The difficulty comes from the fact that, in real life, someone who behaves like DWTL would have no chances in elections, and would be reduced to the role of the clown-hack like Limbaugh and Lefebvre.

Dunno if he sin't a politician but i know that he is a politician. We like it or not, he is one, he has responsibilities and tasks in that realm.

He's a man of party, but not an elected official.

He was deputy till very recently. And anyways he works for a political party, and more of that as spokesman, which is enough to be a politician. I might have missed something but has he also given up the spokesman job?

My comment was 50%-ironical. Lefebvre, as Limbaugh, is here to speak and to give a voice to the stupidest and most caricaturally ideological ideas coming from his political side. Both speak and -fortunately- don't act. They let the others (Bush and the GOP for Limbaugh, Sarko and the UMP for Lefebvre...) the task to concretize most as possible the inanities they say.

Yep, but still, Limbaugh makes radio, Lefevbre is still the spokesman of the biggest political party in France, moreover the one in power, there is a gap.

Right.

So what does this Lefebvre character do? What has he said that's so crazy?

Can't remember all... Some last things concerned taxing the indemnities for incidents at work and chemical castration, but he said worse...

Kalwejt : Oskar Lafontaine (Kalwejt is a impulsive man, like Oskar Wink)

You're right, it fits probably better as for political views.

Barnes : Lyndon Johnson.
Dr Cynic : Clement Attlee (the old UK labour fits very well for him Smiley)

100% agreed with DWTL compring himself with Gingrich, should have though to it myself. Lief/Obama fits also quite well.
