Chauncey DeVega says: Political Analogies in Action

A simple test to get you ready for your S.A.T.'s:

McCain is to the 2008 Elections as Dudley is to the Bicycle Repairman.

Am I being mean? And how many of my fellow 1970s and 1980s peers had nightmares about this episode of Different Strokes?

macon d said...: Sheesh, Different, um, Strokes is right. I'm glad I missed that episode! The laugh track makes it all even more creepy. It's almost like something David Lynch would do. As for the analogy to McCain, I'll have to wait to read more interpretations. (Is that Morgan Freeman's voice at the end?); November 10, 2008 at 9:20 AM
