The Who’s Who of 2008 and 24

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Don Surber got us thinking about the current cast of misfits running for president in real life and comparing them with the cast of misfits on the show 24. Surber likened Republican Mike Huckabee with evil former President Charles Logan. I cannot imagine Huckabee watching 24, with all its violence and flagrant use of the “D-word”. Plus his family is too busy shopping for clothes in the gift shop at Cracker Barrel on Monday nights.

All politics aside, here’s the first comparison we are going to post with the ever-narrowing group of candidates in 2008 and their 24 counterparts.

Hillary Clinton — Martha Logan

Who: One is the wife of a lying, cheating former president who seems like they’re trying to ruin her life. The other is….well….uh…never mind.

Folks, the comparisons pretty much stop there as Martha Logan didn’t have plans after she left the White House (other than popping pills and finding comfort in the arms of one of her most trusted bodyguards). Hillary, on the other hand, wanted to use her time in the White House as an excuse to elect her President on her way to rule the world and then the universe, so she could truly provide “universal health care”.

Martha’s also hot in a batshit crazy sort-of way, where Hillary’s not.

Martha also stabbed former President Logan, something Hillary has yet to attempt however I’m sure it’s crossed her mind on several occasions.

Next up: Mitt Romney

Have any suggestions for the candidates-24 comparison? Post them in the comments.

John McCain’s Tortured Logic

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

The other night, I tuned into the GOP/CNN/You Tube/DNC Plant debate (it was a really, really, really slow TV night). In between Huckabee’s praisin’ the Lord, Romney’s hair and Ron Paul…well being Ron Paul, there was John McCain talking torture and 24.

It turns out that former 24 star John McCain has been dropping Jack Bauer’s name on the campaign trail as well.

“We all love Jack Bauer,” McCain said. “‘Where’s the nuclear weapon?’ ‘I’m not telling.’ Blam, blows the kneecap off and ‘I’ll tell ya.’”

That’s not real life, said McCain, a former Vietnam POW at odds with some rivals and members of the Bush administration over what interrogation techniques should be ruled out as torture. “It’s not Jack Bauer. It’s not ’24.’” (source)

However McCain got it wrong. Bauer blew off the kneecap of RoboCop’s wife in Season 5 when he refused to answer some questions. John McCain…he may know a little about getting bamboo shoots shoved up his fingernails, but he has a lot to learn about Jack Bauer.
