Ok. That picture is more than a little creepy. Wreaks of the same hero worship that Obama’s nutcases are accused of.

Good point.


[from "Mitt Romney as Tarantino's Superman", New Republic]:

"Whereas most superheroes' secret identities (Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker) are their true identities
--the people they were before their parents were murdered or they were bitten by radioactive spiders
or exposed to gamma rays or what have you--Superman was born Superman.
It's Clark Kent that is the invented alias, the pose, the "costume."
And in the way Superman plays Kent--weak, self-doubting, cowardly--
we can see what he thinks of the human race overall.
It occurred to me that the same is true of Mitt Romney's desperate,
if never terribly persuasive, impersonation of a conservative Republican."

Yeah, and remind me... the excitement Obama generated among his base worked out just how?

I agree with that. For me, that doesn't represent "our" Sarah in the right way, I know the intentions are good but like you say, it's too creepy for me.

I freely admit it..i'm a Sarah nutcase, and I like the pic.
I don't think it's creepy. I may not make a T-shirt or bumpersticker out of it, but I do like it.
Maybe i'm taking it out of context for some if I say I look at it as Sarah representing Liberty and,like the Lady herself, that Sarah stands as an icon of freedom and patriotism for all true Americans.
But...creepy? No.

Yeah but if it was Newt you'd love it. Wouldn't you?
