"A Democrat once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti."
Kevin D. Williamson, "Media Blog" @ National Review
Apparently, the NBC program Medium decided to have a villain who was one part Hannibal Lecter and one part John McCain: an Arizona senator and former POW who becomes a cannibalistic serial killer.
You know, if there were a little more Hannibal Lecter in McCain, I might like him a little better. I like to imagine McCain sitting down with Tim Russert and scoffing at the prepared questions: "Do you really think you can dissect me with that blunt little tool, Mr. Russert?" And then maybe turning to Hillary during a debate: "You know what you look like to me, Agent Rodham, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste."
If you're going to be reimagined as a cannibal, may as well run with it.
