This fabulous Fark.com thread is full of hilarious analogies of the presidential candidates in reference to pop culture. For what it’s worth, Godwin’s Law (”As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.”) is cleverly fulfilled in 1 day, 4 hours, 3 minutes, 28 seconds by Fark user spill_thrill.

In honor of Ted Stevens’ conviction I present this image that Truth2Tell of the Democratic Underground nabbed off of Reddit. It shows Ted Stevens joining the ranks of Republicans who bring such shame to their party that Fox News labels them Democrats.

Republicans erroneously labeled by Fox News as Democrats when their scandals broke:

I work with a teacher who was in Bagdad when McCain was there
