And, in a related question, is Rush Limbaugh really Jabba the Hut?
America's favorite reptile, right-wing commentator Rush Limbaugh, recently compared Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney to Batman, after accusing the makers of that ill-starred flick of deliberately naming Batman's nemesis Bane so as to be a homonym of Bain, the private equity firm that Romney founded.
Most writers just figured Rush was back on Oxycontin again, but I'm not afraid to do the research. Below lies a scrupulously scientific comparison:

Most writers just figured Rush was back on Oxycontin again, but I'm not afraid to do the research. Below lies a scrupulously scientific comparison:
 |  |
| MITT ROMNEY Has six houses Refuses to disclose tax returns Has 100 million in IRA Saved Salt Lake City Olympics Big problem is Bain | BATMAN Has one house and one really cool cave As cartoon character, not obligated to file taxes Has no plans for retirement Saves Gotham City every time the Bat-Signal is turned on Big problem is Bane |
 |  |
| BATMAN Attacks monstrous criminals who are out to destroy our way of life Has secret identity Wears costume to combat evil Has car elevator for Batmobile Wears mask to make super-villains think he's one of them Caped Crusader Has Robin, Boy Wonder, for sidekick | MITT ROMNEY Attacks teen-age boys with long hair Has secret bank accounts Wears borrowed State Trooper uniform to frighten friends Wants car elevator in La Jolla Wears jeans to make ordinary Americans think he's one of them Flip-Flopper Still looking for the right sidekick |
Now for the bonus part of this post, Is Rush Limbaugh Really Jabba the Hut?
 |  |
| JABBA Lives in anti-gravity tent over pit full of giant snakes Species unknown, but definitely invasive Likes supple young women in brief costumes, even though he's obviously not human Overweight, no-necked monster Only one of his kind Has Han Solo by the testicles Nature of genitals, reproductive system unknown Bloated bag of irredeemable evil | RUSH Lives in Florida Ditto Likewise Ditto Mercifully so Has Republican Party by the testicles Viagra works for him Ditto |
You've got to admit, some eerie parallels here! Make sure you check back for my next fearless comparison between a real human being and a character from juvenile fiction: Is Michelle Obama Really Lieutenant Uhuru?
