Bette Porter for President!
The smart and confident Ms. Porter is Mombian readers’ choice for the Oval Office, based on your comments to the L-ection question in my L Word giveaway post.
The first five winners of the L Word Complete Fifth Season DVD Box set, however, show a range of opinions. They are:
- Ammo: “i say alice cuz she’s clever and spunky…out those homophobic jocks! and cuz i’ll see her tomorrow night playing in her band, uh huh her.”
- Duhbeckster: “Bette, absolutely. She’s hyper-organized and knows how to get stuff done. And she sure is good at bossing people around. :-)”
- G: “Tina because of her work toward social justice!”
- Stacy: “I wanted to get this right, so I went to the list of all named Lword characters, even the minor ones, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_characters_from_The_L_Word) and I’m going to go with Barbara Grisham, the closeted senator from MA from Season 3. She’s clearly got the experience, and—since she thought Bette was hot—I trust her judgment.”
- Tracy: “The lawyer on the show for sure (Phylis’s ex). That would make for good tv!” [Joyce Wischnia—DR]
(I chose the winners at random, however, not based on people’s answers.)
Many other characters got votes, too, including Tina, Alice, Shane, Dana (Fairbanks, not me), Tasha, Kit, and even Peggy Peabody, Adele, and Angelica. I encourage everyone to check out all the comments. Some of you made impassioned cases for your characters of choice.
Monday, Robin at The Other Mother will be giving away five more box sets. I’ll do another five at Mombian on Tuesday, and Robin will wrap up the fun with five at The Other Mother on Wednesday. Thanks to all who are participating!
