24. Earlier you mentioned how Cato reminded you of the teabaggers and that was spot on....
He saw all things strictly as right or wrong with no compromise possible. He basically invented the filibuster just to thwart Julius Caesar. Cicero reminds me a lot of John McCain-a legend in his own mind, convinced he is the salvation of the republic but unwanted by the electorate. Any of the incompetent aristocratic consuls who blundered into war could easily represent the Bushes with their wealth and privilege.
The parallels are really interesting and the characters are very well developed.
