Republican Gilligan’s Island

Posted on February 4, 2012 by Kevin DuJan

Here’s a photoshop that’s making the rounds in email — the Republican presidential candidates (plus one individual I wish more than anything had run this year, you betcha) as the cast of Gilligan’s Island.

It’s a surprisingly accurate assessment of their public personas too.

Governor Sarah Palin = Mary Ann: the All-American girl next door, never afraid to get her hands dirty, who works hard and loves the outdoors. She’s my favorite character on the show and my favorite person in conservative politics. Always leading with a servant’s heart while loving her country more than anything.

Speaker Newt Gingrich = The Skipper: Larger than life, he’s the leader of the group, the captain of the ship, with a sometimes stormy temper, and he’s always willing to beat on dummies and chase people around coconut trees when they’ve done something stupid (like how he’s promised to follow Barack Obama around relentlessly until he agrees to nine hours’ of Lincoln-Douglas debates).

Governor Rick Perry = Gilligan: The stumbling bumbler and epic disappointment.

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann = Ginger Grant: The diva with the fading career who’s down to just a handful of fans.

Ambassador Jon Huntsman = The Professor: So forgettable that most people don’t even know his name. If only he’d just talk in high school-level Mandarin some more, because people just love that and no one ever thinks it’s at all creepy. Perhaps we’ll see more of that when he revs up his third party campaign in April or May.

Willard “Mittens” Romney = Thurston Howell III: There has never in life been more perfect casting.

Luap Nor! = Luvvie Howell: I stand corrected, considering the cozying up to Mittens that this fifth dimensional imp has been doing lately (quick…somebody trick him into saying his name backwards again like Superman always does)

Rick Santorum = looks like this was actually Survivor and the poor guy got voted off the island (not that he ever really had required residency status there anyway, even though he claimed to, and just maintained an empty house next door to his mother-in-law).

What other TV shows do you think we could do with this particular group of candidates (and the non-candidate in Wasilla)? In 2004, we could have done The Munsters when John Kerry was running, with John Edwards as Lily and Howard Dean as little Eddie (with George Soros as Grandpa).

I laughed until I teared up. What a funny and clever execution on both the choice of scene and the subtitles.

It is odd that I didn't hear about Romney and his pet through normal channels. Reminds me of LBJ lambasted for making his dogs howl on cue by lifting them by the ears. Will politicians never learn - the American public can forgive killing 10's of thousands through poorly conceived imperialist wars, but don't mess with the pooch.

Rick Santorum — who is currently a hair's breadth away from frontrunner status in the Republican primaries — relayed his beliefs on birth control a few years ago…

"I don't think it works. I think it's harmful to women. I think it's harmful to our society to have a society that says that sex outside of marriage is something that should be encouraged or tolerated, particularly among the young." .
Note that I wrote "a few years ago," and not "a few decades ago" or "a few centuries ago." Not a typo. Though I can understand why you might have assumed it was.
