Funny.

Is this great or what?

From Nicholas Kristof's op-ed today:

' A reader named Melissa S. e-mailed to say that she explains Iraq policy to her 8-year-old son in terms of Harry Potter characters: “Dick Cheney is Lord Voldemort. George W. Bush is Peter Pettigrew.” Don Rumsfeld is Lucius Malfoy, while Cornelius Fudge represents administration supporters who deny that anything is wrong. And, she concludes, “Daily Prophet reporter Rita Skeeter is Fox News.” '

Now who would you say is Colin Powell, Condi, and Alberto Gonzales are?

My thoughts are Colin Powell is the elder Crabbe and Goyle -- just do what they are told, don't make their opinions known. Maybe Alberto Gonzales is a dementor since he sucks people's souls out while torturing them. And Condi, perhaps Bellatrix Lestrange? Voldemort's most faithful death eater... Rufus Scrimgeor would be someone trying to create diversions and pretend like everything is okay.

Now the big question is, who are Harry, Ron and Hermione?

Funny! It reminds me of Stephen Colbert/Rick Santorum LOTR analogies. That was pretty classic.

Do you think Hillary thinks she is Hermione? She is kind of a know it all isn't she?

i don't think hillary is hermione and i don't think she's a know-it-all either. i think you are still stuck to the old version of hillary, the one where she was branded as a bitch and a crazy liberal during her husband's presidency. the new version of hillary panders to the right and the middle. the new version of hillary doesn't stick to her convictions.
