Sue Sylvester of ‘Glee’ vs. Leslie Knope of ‘Parks and Rec’: Who would you vote for?
Leslie Knope and Sue Sylvester: running campaigns on TV’s “Parks and Recreation” and “Glee.”
While political junkies are fixated on the candidates in the Republican presidential primary race, we at Celebritology are focusing our attention on a pair of equally important office seekers.
As avid TV viewers know, Sue Sylvester of Fox’s “Glee” has announced her intention this season to run for Congress in her home state of Ohio. Meanwhile, another Midwestern woman Leslie Knope of NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” has also declared her plans to pursue a City Council seat in the town of Pawnee, Ind.
Let’s forget, for the moment, that these two candidates are pursuing different offices in different states and are both, technically, fictional. If you had a choice between electing Sylvester, a cheerleading coach who is a forceful leader and expert insulter of Will Schuester’s hair, and Knope, a devoted public servant who knows how to throw one heck of a Harvest Festival, whom would you choose?
Let’s compare the candidates and do the only logical thing one can do when discussing pop cultural political races: put this thing to a vote.
