Clinton v. Obama as Daffy v. Bugs

Having been a Bugs Bunny fan forever, I loved this piece in Slate comparing Clinton and Obama to Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny. The thesis is that Obama is Bugs, never losing his cool, always seeming to know what's going on and how to befuddle his opponents. Clinton is Daffy Duck, forever raging at the unfairness of the world with tantrums and bulging eyes. The article is funny, and oddly enough, has a fair bit of truth to it.

I hope that, as in the cartoons, Bugs wins in the end.
