The show's creator, Armando Iannucci, is the man. He did a show in the UK, very similar to VEEP (but better IMO) called The Thick of It. Inside UK politics, almost an update of Yes, Minister. Then he did a movie that was about 50/50 UK/US called In the Loop. Both shows are fantastic and have some of the same actors and directors as VEEP (Chris Addison was an actor in both Thick and Loop, and he has directed all of VEEP this year I think). If you like VEEP, do yourself a favor and check out his other stuff.
Malcolm Tucker for president
I could watch Thick of It (and Alan Partridge and Peep Show) over and over into infinity. Have never heard of The Loop, thanks!
