Dennis is Don Quixote, John is Don Quixote in a tank

[Yael]

That is a quote from Phoebe Loosinhouse posted here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4042817&mesg_id=4042962

Thought I would share with everyone.

1. John

is Professor Harold Hill from the Music Man.

Don't kid yourself.

[fenriswolf]

2. as long as we are comparing candidates to unfavorable people

in musicals can I call hillary the wicked witch of the west?

( i dont hate hillary, i hate people who namecall the other democrate candidates)

[maddiejoan]

3. I'm just making a better analogy than Quijote

In the Music man --Harold Hill DOES actually wind up a good guy at the end.
But I do think of Edwards as a salesman.

:shrug:

I liken Hillary more to Auntie Mame.

[ladjf]

4. I like what Edwards is selling.

[maddiejoan]

8. well

better hope he really has band instruments then.

[ladjf]

10. Or else we are going to have to use the "think system".

"That's my boy playing the tuba."

[jpgray]

5. So is every major candidate. If I have to dance to a false tune, I'd rather it be one I support

[ladjf]

11. It reminds of the political situation in Chavez in Venezuela. I'm not

sure what is up to but the poor and middle class are receiving benefits that they never had before.
For that reason, I'd have to say, that Chavez is good for Venezuela.

6. Great comparison. I laughed.

:thumbsup:

7. Going up against an entire army with anti tank weapons.

And no strategy to deal with that reality.

[Quixote1818]

9. Thats probably why John became my candidate

[Colobo]

12. Don Quixote with a tank would have been extremely dangerous...
