The metaphor’s thin — unlike in the film, there’s no cracklin’ homoerotic tension between “Maverick” and “Iceman” that I’m aware of — but good lord, that is one intense love scene near the end, isn’t it?

I think the “Crash and Burn” line at the end works quite well :-D
askheaves on February 5, 2008 at 1:26 PM
So I take it will will see the hillary and Obama staring in “dumb and dumber ” ?
William Amos on February 5, 2008 at 1:26 PM
Also starring Mike Huckabee as Goose. Or would that be Rudy?
locke on February 5, 2008 at 1:28 PM
You take my breath away.
natesnake on February 5, 2008 at 1:29 PM
Except for the part where we’re all being flipped off by Maverick… that’s rock solid.
My best-case scenario: once the MSM has done their job of getting McCain nominated, they turn on him like he was some sort of Republican, and in a hot-tempered rage he snaps out of his media love affair and turns conservative.

God Help us if Ann Colter is playing Kelly McGillis’ role.
William Amos on February 5, 2008 at 1:31 PM
Isnt this more like that scene from Mad Max:Beyond Thunderdome…
where two men enter and one man leaves.
I love that line.
Always Right on February 5, 2008 at 1:33 PM
I can’t believe they blurred out the middle finger. Cripes! Check your bustle MKH.
MikeZero on February 5, 2008 at 1:37 PM
That flick should have won an academy award for best original screenplay: “she’s a civilian, so you DO NOT salute her.“
John from OPFOR on February 5, 2008 at 1:40 PM
Hillary will not be in the Kelly McGillis role. Just the thought of Hillary in that role is scary.
Larraby on February 5, 2008 at 1:41 PM
that sucked. no MKH
custer on February 5, 2008 at 1:41 PM
I guarantee you Romeney would definately leave his wing man. You never, never leave your wingman.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 5, 2008 at 1:44 PM
That’s from Drudge.
amerpundit on February 5, 2008 at 1:47 PM
Fixed.
BacaDog on February 5, 2008 at 1:48 PM
Don’t vote for the Flipper, vote for the man that shook hands hands with the Gipper!
Flipper, I was an Independent during, Reagan-Bush, I’m not trying to return to Reagan-Bush..
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 1:49 PM
Fred is the captain of the aircraft carrier.
Huckabee is actually the sycophantic Wolfman.
And Ron Paul is Cougar, who loses it after he sees bad guys.
With Rush Limbaugh as Viper and Mark Levin as Jester.
JohnTant on February 5, 2008 at 1:53 PM
More like Maverick and HairJellMan
Kini on February 5, 2008 at 1:53 PM
Was that inspired by my comment yesterday?
As McCain was crashing airplanes for his country in Vietnam, Romney was crashing cars in France for his religion to avoid serving his country.
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 1:56 PM
I like jets! See what kind of aircraft you are.
KelliD on February 5, 2008 at 1:57 PM
…where the mayor (Villaraigosa) is solidly in the tank for Hitlary? I’m stunned and heart-achy.
Let’s hope not. The shirtless beach volleyball scene is probably the unintentionally gheyest thing I’ve ever seen on film.
Kid from Brooklyn on February 5, 2008 at 1:57 PM
That comment is despicable and untruthful.
CABE on February 5, 2008 at 1:57 PM
Fixed.
amerpundit on February 5, 2008 at 2:00 PM
Truth just hurts sometimes.
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 2:08 PM
In June 1968, Romney was involved in a serious car accident while driving fellow missionaries in southern France.
———————————————————
McCain spent six weeks in the Hoa Loa hospital, receiving marginal care. He was interviewed by a French television reporter whose report was carried on CBS, and was observed by a variety of North Vietnamese, including the famous General Vo Nguyen Giap. Many of the North Vietnamese observers assumed that he must be part of America’s political-military-economic elite. Now having lost 50 pounds, in a chest cast, and with his hair turned white, McCain was sent to a prisoner-of-war camp on the outskirts of Hanoi nicknamed “the Plantation” in December 1967, into a cell with two other Americans who did not expect him to live a week (one was Bud Day, a future Medal of Honor recipient); they nursed McCain and kept him alive. In March 1968, McCain was put into solitary confinement, where he would be for two years.
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 2:13 PM
You mean it’s all about the O?
CH,
Don’t even get me started about how despicable it was, I’m just parsing your idiotic words:
Romney was crashing cars in France for his religion….
Are you standing by that dunce-like statement?
Buy Danish on February 5, 2008 at 2:27 PM
How would you know?
EyeSurgeon on February 5, 2008 at 2:29 PM
If we are going to dream, we should dream BIG. If only it could happen.
abinitioadinfinitum on February 5, 2008 at 2:31 PM
I’d…
.
I better leave that thought be. It could get me banned. :)
abinitioadinfinitum on February 5, 2008 at 2:34 PM
This Drudge headline is very worrisome to me, since California is Mitt’s best chance.
The board of elections failed to deliver voting equipment to polling places ALL OVER LOS ANGELES… Developing…
Buy Danish on February 5, 2008 at 2:35 PM
Did he or did he not get into a car accident in France while trying to convert people to Mormon?
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 2:36 PM
Did Mitt want to go to Vietnam at the time?
NO
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 2:37 PM
I’m an F 15
.
I did that the other day. Pretty cool.
abinitioadinfinitum on February 5, 2008 at 2:39 PM
“If you get endorsed by the New York Times, you’re probably not a conservative…” - Mitt Romney
Ehm. Didn’t the New York Times endorse Bush over Gore in 2000? Heh.
Seixon on February 5, 2008 at 2:41 PM
Why wasn’t Mitt doing missionary work in Africa in 1968?
Oh yea..
From the end of the nineteenth century until 1978, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints did not allow black men of African descent to be ordained to the priesthood or allow black men or women of African descent to participate in temple ordinances such as the Endowment and sealing that the church teaches are necessary for the highest degree of salvation.
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 2:44 PM
Nice MKH, like you that was hot!
Iceman’08
HotAirExpert on February 5, 2008 at 2:53 PM
Yep and GWB is NOT conservative either.
HotAirExpert on February 5, 2008 at 2:54 PM
I can’t help but wonder what Chakra was doing during Vietnam, or why he is here wasting time instead of doing missionary work in Africa.
JohnTant on February 5, 2008 at 2:54 PM
Kick butt! I’m an F-22 (though the quiz still uses the obsolete F/A-22 development designation…).
Blacklake on February 5, 2008 at 2:55 PM
I was born in ‘74 before Mormons flip-flopped on blacks, I’m here doing missionary work for OUR Country trying to convert morons in “The Stupid Party” into voting rather than staying home.
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 3:05 PM
It seems to me that only a stupid moron would be working to get people he thinks are stupid morons out to the polls.
rivlax on February 5, 2008 at 3:22 PM
Great metaphor there if you ask me. And great job (again) Mary Katharine.
thirteen28 on February 5, 2008 at 3:24 PM
Just as I thought.
A poseur.

Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 3:05 PM
So you weren’t really around during Viet Nam, but you are an expert on what people did and should have done. By the way, McShamesty spent his time as a POW….yeah, and how does that qualify him to be president and make him a conservative?
flytier on February 5, 2008 at 3:40 PM
B-52 Stratofortress
You`re a B-52. You are old and wise, and you absolutely love destruction. You believe in the principle of “peace through deterrence” and aren`t afraid to throw your weight around.
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 3:59 PM

I actually took the test twice the first time I got this..
EA-6B Prowler
You are an EA-6B. You are sinister, preferring not to get into confrontations, but extract revenge through mind games and technological interference. You also love to make noise and couldn`t care less about pollution.
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 4:04 PM
His 83% ACU Rating makes him a Conservative.
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 4:07 PM
83%?
65% in 2006:
http://www.acuratings.org/2006all.htm#AZ
And after his Amnesty dealings, there’s little evidence that he plans to get more conservative.
JohnTant on February 5, 2008 at 4:13 PM
I’m glad that he went against a congress that lost it’s way!
IF you haven’t noticed the Republicans in Congress turned a blind eye on the “Contract with America”.
MOST Republicans in Congress has a “Contract on America” and were spending our money left and right!
Thats why we lost in ‘06!
Tom Coburn endorsed John McCain!
Wake up!
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 4:33 PM
That could actually help Mitt since LA is fairly liberal and would probably tend toward McCain.
Snidely Whiplash on February 5, 2008 at 6:26 PM
So is McCain now going to dump another wife, this time for Katie Holmes?
Tzetzes on February 5, 2008 at 6:47 PM
Rudy would be Goose since he dropped out already.
koolbrease on February 5, 2008 at 6:52 PM
Oh,that was Super excellent,that was a good video,
now heres another suggestion,whoever does’t make
the nominee I like to see a Titanic movie version
complete with the steamed up car,and the hand screeching
down the window!hehe
canopfor on February 5, 2008 at 10:17 PM
Chakra telling me to wake up is almost as funny as Idi Amin telling me to love my neighbor.
