I'm trying to think of someone so warm and reassuring that even Fox News reporters would want to sit on his lap like a fatter Bill Cosby or Morgan Freeman, Charles S. Dutton, Michael Clarke Duncan, or Cedric the Entertainer.
EDIT: It would probably be even more funny to think of who the Fox Newsies would LEAST like to see come down their chimney or kissing mommy underneath the mistletoe like Samuel L Jackson, Ice T, Wesley Snipes, Flava Flav, Lil Wayne, or whichever rapper they find most horrifying.

(10,164 posts)Because the answer to the question "who would be the best actor to portray so-and-so?" is always Tilda Swinton.
Yeah, I know it's a stretch for a thin, pale woman to play a portly black male...but it's Tilda Fucking Swinton.

That's some high-octane silly shit there.
