In Man of the Year Williams plays a cable show comedian named Tom Dobbs - sort of a Jon Stewart on speed - spouting liberal-minded socio-political criticism. One of his fans proposes that he run for President, and before you know it he?s on the ballot in enough battleground states to pose a threat to the establishment candidates. He devastates them in a televised debate and wins the election...

She was barely literate, the seventh of 13 children. And she could rattle off the Hail Mary with the speed and subtlety of a NASCAR lap. There were times when she embarrassed me--with her broad Irish brogue and reflexive deference to clerical authority. Couldn't she genuflect a little less deeply and pray a little less loudly? And then, as I winced at her volume in my quiet church...
