Obama gets major endorsement from fellow Superhero-American
2008-08-19
The celebrity endorsements have begun! Savage Dragon, a superhero and police officer whose adventures are published by Image Comics, is throwing his hat in the ring for Barack Obama. The news is blared across the cover of issue No. 137, with the green-skinned hero dressed up for the occasion in a black jacket, crisp white shirt and striped red tie.

The senator is also dressed nattily, though sartorial sticklers might point out that his tie falls a few inches too short. ("That's just because I'm an idiot," says Erik Larsen, who created the Savage Dragon character.) . . .

#6  I'm going to pretend to be cool and know what Savage Dragoon is. Some weird spinoff of PlasticMan?

#3  Savage Dragon or not, here's another Clinton nightmare...

If Hillary tosses in the towel and agrees to back Barack Obama...and he becomes President, what will she want in return? Not the VP! The voters, the party, and Obama probably wouldn't stand for that - and in 8 years, she'll be too old to run for the presidency again.

So, what would she settle for? If Obama is elected, the House & Senate will surely be Democrat controlled, and Obama can pay Hillary off big time by nominating her to the Supreme Court.

Remember, John Paul Stevens is 88 years old and Ginsberg is reported to have cancer. The Republicans will have no way of stopping it. This woman could then do more damage than she ever could do as President.

#2  The sad thing is; i expect that there will be several readers of this comic book that will actually vote for Superbama, based soley on this fact.

See? Even comic book artists know how presidential candidates should dress! Perhaps Candidate Obama's team should spend less time reading Atlantic magazine and the New York Times, and more time reading comic books with their nephews.
