Lots of people out there are referring to McCain as "McBush" to draw the obvious comparisons between McCain and Bush, but there's an even clearer set of comparisons to be drawn between McCain and Cheney - a pair of old men with creepy smiles willing to fake up whatever it takes to go to war with Iran. Dialing all the way back to the 2000 Vice Presidential debate, it is apparent that they both share the love of Joltin' Joe Lieberman.
But there are a few important distinctions:
* Cheney never dumped his wife for a young blonde heiress trophy wife (maybe that's why McCain's so obsessed with Paris Hilton, he's dreaming of trading up again).
* Cheney is five years younger than McCain, and has never been diagnosed with any kind of cancer (that the public knows of).
* Cheney, in his evil machinations, at least knows the difference between Al Queda and Iranian-backed extremists, knows there's no border between Iraq and Pakistan, and knows that Putin is not President of Germany (heck, Cheney probably considers Putin a role model for what he's done in Russia).
But those differences aside, we're facing McCheney, an older, creepier, more cancerous, more adulterous, and more confused version of Dick Cheney.
