The GOP Primary Field, in Buffy Villains

The GOP Primary Field in Buffy Villains
Shortly after doing my first video blog post in werewolf form, I came up with a guide to the GOP primary field, expressed in terms of the Buffy villains they most resemble.

Fred Thompson: The Judge
His backers got all excited and made a big effort to assemble him. When they finally put him together, he turned out to be a lethargic mess and didn't accomplish very much.


Mitt Romney: The Mayor
They're both clever and generically slick politicians, programmed to appeal to middle America. I can't watch Mitt without thinking of the Demon Mayor of Sunnydale, and that's what inspired this whole list.


John McCain: The Master
The oldest vampire. Got killed early, but there's some talk about how he might rise again.


Ron Paul: Moloch the Corruptor
He's been around a long time, but he only recently absorbed himself into the internet, where he now has a bunch of overexcited followers who spend too much time online.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Mittens bears an uncanny resemblance to the Mayor!

Edit: Even if you're not a Buffy fan, it's worth reading the article to see the pictures. Priceless! :rofl:

1. Nah...I think I liked the Mayor better than I like Mitt...
"There's more than one way to skin a cat...and I happen to know that's factually correct."

"How 'bout a glass of milk?"

I thought the mayor was a GREAT villain.

Mitt...not so much.

2. I loved the Mayor too
Ironic that Mittens, er, "Faith" is also becoming a problem. :evilgrin:

3. Well, faith was always a bit of a loose cannon. n/t
