“House of Cards” creator Beau Willimon has a pretty unobjectionable suggestion for fixing Washington — one that doesn’t include some nefarious scheme from a shady official.
“I think I’m looking for what everyone else is looking for” in 2016, Willimon began: “leadership.”
“Someone who’s able to go into Washington and unlock the logjam.”
Willimon told Bloomberg Politics outside Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards the capacity of his “House of Cards” star character, Frank Underwood, to do as much appeals to the show’s enthusiastic audience.
“One of the things people enjoy most about Frank Underwood is he’s this guy who gets stuff done. He does not stand for gridlock. He finds his way over it, around it, or breaks right on through it. I think a lot of people would like to see that sort of figure leading the country — maybe not achieving office to the same nefarious ways that Francis Underwood does, but maybe having a little bit of his efficiency and determination, and outside-the-box thinking.”
Or we could always just go the route of VP Selena Meyer on “VEEP” and have comic relief at the front of a presidential administration.
Oh. Wait.
