Good Ideas

Eddie Izzard, the cross-dresser too talented to be just a comedian and too homely to be just an actor, is considering adding a new position to his CV: European politician.

In an interview with Newsweek, the 46-year-old Brit said: "We've got to make it work in Europe … People are very worried about sovereignty and the loss of sovereignty. I think the stakes are if we don't make the European Union work, then the world is screwed. End of story."

That a transvestite comedian who once said of Easter, "Kids eat chocolate eggs because of the color of the chocolate and the color of the…wood on the cross?" can even think of running for office in Europe says a lot about the state of things over there as opposed to America. We hope he gives his victory speech in a frilly gown.

    HELL YEAH. He's brilliant, multilingual, knows a thousand times more about world politics than the average politician, and looks smashing with stubble or in a dress. How many people can say that?
