As Henry Farrell reminds us, when a British politician suddenly bagged out on a promised appearance on the show “Have I got news for you,” they replaced him with a tub of lard. Idea for the Harris campaign and ABC?

1. The possibilities are endless.

A single orange on the lectern?

16. Perhaps a large pumpkin

with a squirrel plush dog toy on top.

27. Double whammy!

Perfect stand-in for the orange jerk, with the added bonus of getting more people to laugh at him.

Win-win!

25. A little mockery couldn't hurt.

Imagine a full size cutout of this standing behind a mic and opposite the Vice President:



Big, strong man running scared, eh?

[Hugin]

3. A canned ham is the replacement tradition calls for in the case...

Of Trump.

4. Roy Hattersley. He wasn't the worst politician by any means

but just fell foul of the HIGNFY team.

Good idea though. Maybe they could use a coconut with orange makeup ?

One that does not magically spew human excrement when out in public.
