Holy similarities!

People have been linking to this debate clip from the classic Batman series that reveals how McCain's current campaign speeches have been taken straight from the Penguin's playbook! Especially now that McCain has gone back on his promiseof a "respectful campaign" and started condemning his opponent for his tangential ties to shady criminals

hahaha, wow! it even has the "i can't be held responsible for what my supporters do" element!
if only gordon was batman's running mate... and catwoman was the penguin's...

Yeah, when Robin runs out I tried to figure out who he was in this comparing game...but it kind of ends there. :)

Oh christ, I'm not gonna be able to watch the debate tonight without a straight face.

And yeah, the old Batman show is pretty fantastic, especially as a great chaser to this Dark Knight-heavy summer - you can grab it all from Netflix right now (which I already did).

SIDE NOTE: How awesome was the original Batman TV show?

Wow, you know, if that show were to come on today, they'd never ever go for anyone like Adam West. And that's part of what's so great about the original anyhow.
