Conan and the President of Finland
If you're a fan of Conan O'Brien, you're probably already familiar with this story, but if not, here's the skinny. Basically, Conan has a huge following in Finland, and the main reason for this, he thinks, is that he looks a lot like their president, Tajara Halonen.
Halonen is currently running for re-election, and since Conan has been talking about her on his show, including running fake campaign commercials, she's gone up in the polls.

Proves why Conan is the best man on late night comedy.
Also, I feel for the Finlanders. The problem with democracy is that people are stupid.
According to this Finnish blog Halonen's number went down since Conan began his campaign for her. Apparently some news reports on it haven't been accurate.
Perhaps the Finnish democracy is not as much comedy-oriented as... some others?
