Without further ado, here they are, in reverse order:
5. Fred Thompson as Ronald Reagan
Sure, they’ve got Hollywood in common, but for all his faults we just can’t imagine Ronald Reagan fizzling the way Thompson has in the campaign. What’s the opposite of a big splash? Still, that hasn’t stopped the candidate from promising to boldly lead us right back to the 1980s. What a visionary.
4. Hillary as a Thug
History has shown Hillary Clinton to be more interested in health care than warfare, so why does she keep talking about how tough she is?
3. Romney and Giuliani as Social Conservatives
These two deserve special mention. It takes a lot of chutzpah to flip-flop in the age of the Internet. We don’t just have a public record, we have YouTube. Seriously, did either of them think they were going to get away with their blatant flip-flopping? Wait a second, they are getting away with it.
2. The Democratic-Controlled Congress as Anti-War
We know the Democrats have accomplished a lot in Congress, just not that one thing Americans sent them there to do. Sure, it’s hard to pass legislation with a slim majority and a hostile president, but enough pretending to be trying to bring the troops home while passing “emergency” war funding bill after “emergency” war funding bill. Of course they’re afraid of being painted as anti-troop by their political enemies, but that’s why it’s called leadership.
1. Bush as a Top Gun
OK, so it’s not exactly a current get-up, but how can we resist this oldie but goodie: the president who ditched the Air National Guard striding across a carrier deck in that flight suit to claim “mission accomplished.” Of course he was only a passenger on the jet that landed, but that’s the power of make-believe. Besides, you have to be competent to fly a plane.
I would have preferred this pic of Bush 365 days a year:

Your right Hillary is passionate about Health Care and she did good with the NBC attack on her as Williams/Russert lead the charge.
Now as to the picture of the Gerbil as Top Gun well when he had a chance to be a man he drank and ran home like a little girl. Yes he yelled Mommy and soiled his pants. Even today if he were asked to suit up and do combat in Iraq he would call his Mommy and Daddy Bush would come and bring baby George home. Cheney would use the deferment again or say Lynn wont let him go to serve the US.
