My top picks are Nero, Commodus, Caligula and Tiberius, although Elagabalus coud be a compelling pick.

We already had Caligula.

You mean which one was responsible for the fall of Rome??

There certainly is a correlation with basic morality.

Hugo Chavez maybe — but Hussein simply doesn’t have the qualifications to be any kind of Caesar.

I would say that it would be any of the last several consuls who were self serving and incompetent, leading to civil war, the rise of the Caesars, and the end of the Republic.

Obama contains more ineptitude than evil; that is, he is trying to be evil but he’s simply fkkking up every attempt and leaving wreckage behind him. He’s has the worst traits of Warren Harding and Barney Fife combined. Apologies to the late, fine actor, Don Knotts

Too detached to be Nero.
Too much of a pussy to be Commodus.
Too agenda-driven to be Caligula.
Too incompetent to be Tiberius.

My vote is for Elegabalus. The dude is just foreign.

Most movies and TV programs portray the Senate and Senators as a bunch of bumbling, incompetent, self-serving old fools.

We have a Senate, too.

Don’t know anything about Commodus but the name alone rings true.
