President C. Montgomery Burns
Lots of talk out there on the character of the man, George W. Bush. ["Man-child"; "Cocooned"; "Bart-like" ; "America's Deadbeat Dad"]
I, for one think it's clear that our Dubya is a younger, hairier version of Springfield's favorite Nuclear Power Plant owner, Mr. Burns. All right, Bush is not inherently evil and Burns has only one lackey boot-lick to cocoon him, tend for him, cover for him, distort the reality that is occuring in front of his face. But still, To wit:
Any other Simpsons or pop-culture analogies will be accepted.

Audience: Boo! Boo!
Burns: Smithers...are they booing me?
Smithers: Uh, no, they're saying "Boo-urns! Boo-urns!"
Burns: Are you saying "boo" or "Boo-urns"?
Audience: Boo! Boo!
Hans: I was saying "Boo-urns"
