...left the Senate for “Law & Order.” Similarly, Mike Teavee, the little genius in Dahl’s book, certainly had some skills to share with Willy Wonka, but he didn’t even like chocolate, wasn’t excited to visit the factory, and certainly wouldn’t have wanted to take it over. Thompson’s similar lack of enthusiasm will likely do him in. So that leaves Charlie Bucket.
