Public Figures as Looney-Tunes characters.
OK, We've already got one - Chris Matthews is Tweety.

I've got a few more:

Former UN Ambassador John Bolton: Yosemite Sam

Rudy Giuliani: Bugs Bunny

John McCain: Elmer Fudd.

Who else is an obvious Looney-Tune?

12. Second that Foghorn Leghorn--sounds just like him, and just as much a buffoon.

16. Nah, Wile E. is too smart.
Bush and Cheney are more like Rocky and Mugsy.

3. I always thought of Bolton as a Scrubbing Bubble.
Most of the Loony Tunes are too good for that bunch.
And you owe Bugs Bunny a HUGE apology.

5. Bugs is too smart to be Guiliani...

Daffy can be Rudy.

I see Waxman more as a Bugs Bunny. Outsmarting the dumb guys was his strong suit.

9. I've always seen Rudy as Sylvester the cat. They share the same speech impediment.

20. Rove is Porky Pig
Edited on Tue May-08-07 05:48 PM by stellanoir


Might not be looney toons but the pRes & V.p are these guys

Pinky-"What do you wantta do tonight Brain?"

Brain-"Same thing we do every night Pinky. Contemplate total global domination."

In every episode they unsurprisingly always fail horrifically.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinky_and_the_Brain

hold on I'll try and get the graphic

21. Nah, Porky's not that conniving.
Maybe Rove's like the later 50's Daffy Duck - the snivelling, cowardly, conniving Daffy Duck.
