Bush = Lincoln? Sure, And Ashlee Simpson = Yo-Yo Ma

A week or so ago, Iran was the new Cuban Missile crisis. This week, Bush is the new Lincoln. Riiiiight.

For those who think this is a debatable comparison that deserves serious, thoughtful, and nuanced discussion, Bennet Kelley and Mahablog have saved the rest of us a lot of time.

Let’s see – Churchill, Kennedy, Lincoln – who’s next? Napoleon? Nope, he’s French for starters. Gandhi? Ehhh, it would just irritate Pakistan. Me, I’m leaning towards this guy or this one. Or maybe, given the way his poll numbers are going, Bush will go down in history as someone akin to this.
