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

Though I know just a little about the man (the wikipedia article was in French), something tells me DWTL is not as stylish or good looking as he:

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.

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.

He's the official spokesperson for Sarkozy's party, and he's mostly an ideological hack who acts as the party's attack dog for attacking the opposition parties.

Though he's not as insane and mentally incapable like Limbaugh.

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

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

Winston Disraeli : Alain Madelin
Colin Wixted : Dwight Eisenhower (popular moderate)
Fritz : Walter Mondale
MaxQue : Hubert Humphrey
Mechman : Barry Goldwater

For the most I agree, but for

Marokai : Nancy Pelosi (He is more realistic like Dennis Kucinich)
Kalwejt : Oskar Lafontaine (Kalwejt is a impulsive man, like Oskar Wink)
Fab: Raymond Barre


And

Antonio V : José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero

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