is this a conservative version of "Yes, Prime Minister"?
From wikipedia:
Yes Minister is a satirical British sitcom written by Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn that was first transmitted by BBC Television between 1980 and 1984, split over three seven-episode series.

The sequel, Yes, Prime Minister, ran from 1986 to 1988. In total there were 38 episodes, of which all but one lasted half an hour. Several episodes were adapted for BBC Radio, and a stage play was produced in 2010, the latter leading to a new television series on UKTV Gold in 2013...

-- snip --

...A huge critical and popular success, the series received a number of awards, including several BAFTAs and in 2004 was voted sixth in the Britain's Best Sitcom poll.

It was the favourite television programme of the then Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Margaret Thatcher.

No, Bill's new "Mr. Virtual President" series is NOT a comedy.
But I am confidant that Lady Thatcher would like it. :)

Someone should produce a series of short comedies about a leftist President like this one.
