Clinton Is Broccoli

posted by on March 14 at 12:52 PM

A guy I play poker with mentioned an article in Slate comparing Barack Obama to Bugs Bunny and Hillary Clinton to Daffy Duck.

The comparison game is almost as much fun as Who Would Win in a Fight? So far, I’ve come up with three examples:

Hillary Clinton is Paul McCartney. Barack Obama is John Lennon.

Clinton is Broccoli. Obama is Kale.

Obama is Eugene Debs. Clinton is Jimmy Hoffa.

(For the record, a miniature elephant would totally win in a fight with genetically modified Super-dog.)

My favorite that I heard a while back was 'Obama is a Mac and Hillary is a PC".

Obama is Poly Styrene. Clinton is Billy Idol.

Compare the relative flattery of the photos for my respective implicit value judgements, gender irony included.
