Some have a nickname for Franz: ‘Avatar.’ And during a televised debate a caller compared him to “an exotic creature from Papua New Guinea.”
But he’s not short of admirers in a country where voters are increasingly tired of politicians they say are corrupt and failing to deliver on years of promises, more than two decades after the fall of communism.

He’ll hold his breath until he’s blue in the face for pretty much anything.

Looks like Palpatine and Darth Maul had a love child.

Glad to see that Grig from The Last Starfighter has gone into politics.

Looks like a marshmallow left over the flame too long.

No one named Franz will ever be elected president in the Czech Republic. Just saying.

Oh my. Is he in the Green party?

Hey, I wouldn’t care what the heck the guy looked like, as long as his policies were Constitutional and fiscally sound.
But that’s just me.

Residual hard feelings over that whole Liebensraum/Sudetenland thing. Now, if his name were František…

Ah, because Franz is a German first name? Klaus is a very common German first name, too.

Sir, looking like that, the only job you’ll ever get is as a record store employee…
…or maybe the Czech president.

Stan Jones, Libertarian Party candidate from Montana, may have Franz beat!

What would compel someone to do that to themselves?
