If I were among all the leftover Hillary supporters, I'd be bitching because Albright didn't run for president. But then that would mean running a leader who happened to be a woman rather than a woman who happened to be a political hack.

Also, I'm having a hard time deciding who looks more like he's just consumed a newborn's soul, Karl Rove or the creepy new pope.

Political calculations aside, Madeleine Albright was born in Czechoslovakia and is constitutionally ineligible to run for president.

I did not know that. That's a shame.

Rove has a more frightening almost innocuous look of evil - the new pope looks like Emperor Palpatine.

And as for the annoying scrawls on the screen - is it any wonder we've become an ADD nation? Jesus christ!

Pope Benedict is the preacher from Poltergeist II. Rove is Peter Lorre in M. Sorry, no illustration for the latter. Have you ever tried to find a picture of Peter Lorre smiling?

No, Rove is Damien - he's all cute (like a baby, not Brad Pitt) and cuddly looking but he's really the antichrist sent to destroy the world.

I believe the Preacher was played by Julian Beck, and was great, but has more of a cadaverous aspect compared to Rove, who doesn't look like he's ever missed a meal.

Funny post, BTW.

Julian Beck as the preacher looks like Pope Benedict; Muse thinks Rove looks like Damien from The Omen (and he is babyfaced, I have to admit), which was in reply to my assertion that he looks like Peter Lorre in M.

Of course, if you're going to compare Karl Rove to a horror movie monster, the obvious contender is Toby Jones in W., but I haven't seen it yet.
