Dr, Who? Fandom meets American Politics.

I have noticed over the last year or so the enormous crossover between Liberal Democrats and really hardcore fans of Doctor Who. While I'm more the sort of person who has caught the occasional episode and found it entertaining enough to leave it on and watch it, I still found this Comedy Central voting-decision guide just delicious, which means that certain other Liberal Democrats, including a particularly fluffy one and a particularly Yorksher one, are going to ADORE it if they haven't seen it already. It lists all ten doctors along with which one of the candidates for the presidency of the US (as at May 12th - yes, I'm a little late with this one) would make the best companion for them and why.

I think Six and Ten are the MOST offensive ones...

I think the comments are quite funny - but most noticeably the third doctor one is completely wrong as he never fought the Cybermen. This seems to have been done for a cheap gag and not by a true believer:-)

Possibly they are funny when you aren't hearing them for the thousandth time. Apple-ogies for my jadedness.

Bleh, I just detest the idea that all classic who fans are geeky hetero-normative boys who can't get laid (the only bit of that which applies to me is geeky) and that the sainted Tennant brought sex appeal to the show when Ecclescake is MILES more attractive. Dammit, I'd even take the Trout over Tennant, and he's DEAD. I'm not even going into the lovely Sixie being paired with that arse Oven Chip.

I suspect whoever wrote that thinks Tom Baker was the only doctor worth watching and daleks flew for the first time in 2005...
