Don Partridge

Donald Partridge, a former Senator (F-Tennessee) was Vice President of the Confederate States of America in the second Featherston Administration (1939-1945). He replaced the disgraced Willy Knight after the latter's coup attempt was crushed by Featherston in December 1938. Partridge was considered by most commentators (and the Confederate President himself) to be a lightweight, a nobody, and harmless in regards to political ambition, which suited Jake Featherston fine. The Vice President spends most of his time with well-to-do ladies or telling incredibly stupid jokes to Featherston, as his functions as President of the Senate is very minimal.

Don Partridge was probably inspired by George H.W. Bush's Vice President, Dan Quayle, who shares similar traits and dubiousness in the political arena.
