Penguin vs. Batman Debate: Is John McCain The Penguin?


Sometimes life imitates art. This is one of those cases. Look at how prescient the creators of the television series Batman wound up being this many years later. Tell me this isn't exactly John McCain's tactics, right down to the "my friends" reference at 1:09 in the video:

You can watch McCain's original Penguin laugh in this video.

I have been saying that McBush is the penguin forever. I am so happy that others see it too.

I love this comparison to the Penguin, especially since so many right-wing morons (redunancy alert!) latched on the Batman movie as some kind of analogy to the Bush Doctrine.
Here's the McPenguin after the debates:

I think those guys in the control booth during the Batman/Penguin debate went on to work for Fox "News."

Should have included the clip of John McCain asking the crowd what they thought of Sarah Palin's debate performance. HEH? HEH? HEH? Classic Burgess Meredith.

Wow, nice find. Penguin is exactly John McCain -- he even says friends.

A few weeks ago when McCain was all proud of himself over selecting Palin and he was cackling I immediately thought of the old Penguin. You got him spot on!
