Survivor: Washington

Monday, September 15th, 2008

In a comment to a post on this blog, I’ve received the following joke:

“What’s the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?”

“One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let’s be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

“The other kills her own food.”

You say that as though it’s a bad thing?

Tell you what… Let’s give Palin and Obama each a rifle, some ammo, and a hunting knife, and see who makes it off the island.

[Update -- Lileks did it way better (from 2004):

You have Bush. You have Saddam.

One is a meglomanical dictator with a small moustache who killed millions, gassed ethnic minorities, annexed a neighbor state and paid underlings to kill Jews.

The other is Hitler.

I know I’m an unsophisticated partisan blinded by ideology, but something about that equation just strikes me wrong.

I love that quote. :)]
