A Hero We Can Believe In?

Have you seen this man? Neither has the United States Senate.

On the whole I find Heroes to be rather awesome.

I am aware that there are many who disagree with me, and I will be the first to admit that this season has had its problems (why is Suresh Spider-Man?).

The real problem I have with this season has been gnawing at me for quite a while.

Nathan Petrelli is a senator. A United States Senator. As someone who currently works for a REAL senator and has previously worked in television professionally, I have one question to ask:

Where the hell is Nathan Petrelli?

If I was from New York state, I would be screaming this question from the rooftops. I’ve been having to deal with people calling in insensently to complain about Joe Lieberman’s absence while he was campaigning for John McCain, but this guy has been spending his time literally FLYING around the world, working out his daddy issues, banging hot chicks with freeze-rays, and personally fighting indestructible Haitian warlords.

Why hasn’t anyone noticed?

He doesn’t even carry a Blackberry. Come on. I mean, I can believe that a dude can read peoples minds or that a cheerleader can survive being decapitated and disemboweled, but to see a professional politician not constantly glued to his cell phone? That’s just ridiculous.

Also, why does his slutty, mega-hot,freeze-ray shooting Chief of Staff never seem to be doing her job either? Seriously that office has to be in a goddamn state of disarray. Personally, I would like to see a couple cutaways to his office where his legislative assistants are flipping their shit trying to get him to a vote.

I think we should all call our senators and urge them to strip Nathan Petrelli of his committee assignments (Seriously though, please don’t do that.  It’s ungodly annoying).

P.S. Does anyone know what party he is? He’s kind of a dick, so that would make me think Republican, but he’s also a total puss, so I’m going with Democrat.
