bud, do you STILL think Hillary is Mary Ann?

Total trivia from blogs past, but it has at least symbolic meaning. Never mind why I was looking at such an old post (another one of those things where TypePad told me it was getting fresh hits, and I couldn’t figure why), but in skimming through the comments on "W is Gilligan; Al is Mr. Howell," I ran across bud’s proposed "Gilligan’s Island" cast:

Gilligan – George W. Bush
Skipper – Dick Cheney (or Karl Rove)
Mr. Howell – George H. W. Bush (or John Kerry)
Mrs. Howell – Barbara Bush (or Teresa Kerry)
Ginger – Condi Rice
Mary Anne – Hillary Clinton
Professor – Al Gore

Most of those are pretty much on-point (as long as we think of a Brian Dennehy sort of dark, menacing Skipper, rather than the Alan Hale version), except for the two unattached females on the island. Condi as Ginger? I don’t think so. Condi’s more of a female version of the Professor.

But the one that still gets me the most is Hillary as sweet, unassuming little Mary Ann? I’m just not seeing that.

bud, or anyone — care to update that cast?

    The whole “crying” incident showed Senator Clinton’s softer, Mary Ann side. Condi, like Ginger, has a secret crush on Gilligan. Plus she has a streak of vanity, not for her looks but rather for her vanity.

    Dang, I just can’t type. Last sentence should read:
    Plus she has a streak of vanity, not for her looks but rather for her perceived intellect.
