If Conan O'Brien, who gave a monologue at last night's White House Correspondents' Dinner, were to cast a TBS show about D.C.'s power players, Rahm Emanuel would be played by conniving baby Stewie Griffin from Family Guy.

In other Midwest casting, Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan would be played by Mr. Bean, while House Speaker John Boehner would be played by "tan mom". Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid would be played by the man in the American Gothic painting and VP Joe Biden would be played by Bob Barker.

Watch O'Brien's whole monologue here. The D.C. show bit starts around the 24-minute mark.
