Politics Obama vs. McCain = Batman vs. Penguin?

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 1:52 PM

Another reminder! Don't miss out on the final presidential debate tonight at 6 pm -- and by all means, please join the Mercury as we drink beer, hoot, holler, hiss and cheer at either the Clinton Street Theater on the big screen (2522 SE Clinton) or at Roots Organic Brewery (1520 SE 7th). PLUS! We'll be LIVEBLOGGING the whole shebang, so drop back in to Blogtown starting at 5:30!

In the meantime, take a look at this 1968 debate between Batman and the Penguin. Notice any similarities to 2008?

Hey WSH,
What a racist statement!!! Comparing Obama to Batman just because he's black. What a racist pig!!! Why not just say what you really mean like, "What do you call a baby McCain? An Angel. What do you call a baby Obama? A Bat." Why dont you take your racist self back to Alabama circa 1950!!!

That was not what I meant at all! I was comparing McCain to a penguin, and Obama to a millionaire sociopath that wears a leotard.

Wait...

Uh, in that episode, Batman wins despite being consistently behind in the polls. It's the big election day shocker.
