McCain = Col Saul Tigh from Battlestar Galactica.. anyone else think this

[Bitek]

The similarities are shocking:

Col Tigh wiki.
McCain pic
Looking for pix, I found I wasn't the 1st to think so
Age 71
Trophy Wife. (vs Cindy the heiress)

Aged and battle scared veteran with a penchant for anger and revenge. Use of force first and only option. Long Military career, but disastrous leadership abilities. Dunno if McCain is a drunk, never heard of this, so we'll mark this off.

If McCain's presidency would be anything like Tigh's brief command of the fleet, we're all screwed.

I'd go through more wiki's, but I've only watched through beginning of Season 3 and already read a spoiler I didn't want to know.


Lastly:

Obama seems most like Pres. Laura Roslyn, the chick, I know
Romney and Edwards both have Baltar qualities.
Hillary..D'anna maybe? Either way she's def a cylon.

I've never seen the series but that guy's wife sounds like a real whore.

Col Saul Tigh > McCain. How dare you insult Tigh like that.

Bumping this thread because I was thinking the same thing ever since I saw the miniseries for BSG. Also, Palin reminds me of Laura Roslin

The one scifi show I could never get into.

Better that than Darth Cheney.

It's a good comparison. Both are old, prickly, and have tempers. And you wonder if either really has what it takes to be the top dog.

Yes, Tigh reminds me of McCain
Roslin reminded me of Hillary
Lee Adama would be Obama.
