Poll Of The Week: Who Should Be The Pirate Spokesperson

Pirates came a long way since the days of the “Treasure Island“, they now have a spokesman.

“We are still surrounded by foreign ships. There is 24-hour surveillance, helicopters are flying overhead, but no action has been taken against us,” the pirates’ spokesman Sugule Ali said over satellite telephone from the ship.

This got me thinking: who would make a good pirate spokesperson? Pirates may not like women, but maybe they progressed with times. The spokesperson has to be somewhat scary looking to uphold the pirate image. He must be able to speak without preparation. He has to be convincing to project the image that he means what he says. Paulson is scary-looking but he stood on his knees, a big no-no for a pirate. Barney Frank has some speech defect which takes away from the grim pirate image. McCain may be OK, but he can’t say “My Friends”, pirates don’t have friends. G.W.Bush, well he has IQ of a pirate, that’s a plus. Hillary? Sarah? Jack Sparrow? Here are your choices:
