Separated at birth

Conservative Party candidate (and Glenn Beck acolyte) Doug Hoffman and creepy Colonel Toht, evil henchman who had the Staff of Ra headpiece burned into his right palm in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Does Hoffman have “9-12” burned into his palm, since he pledged his “sacred honor” to Beck’s 9-12 project? Perhaps we’ll see when he raises his hand to be sworn in.

Thanks, Betty. I’m running a bit of a fever today and I’m sure this will make the dreams even more, uh, vivid!

“Take back one kadam to honor the Hebrew God, whose Ark this is.”

Like Toht and Belloq before him, Hoffman is digging in the wrong place, for a treasure-box he really doesn’t want to open.

Lesson: Measure twice, cut once…and always subtract that extra kadam. Oh, and never buy an Ark from a woman named Pandora…or Palin.

Don’t forget Toht’s dramatic exit.

Sweet dreams.

That’s pretty good, Betty, but I think Hoffman looks more like Charlie McCarthy. Which, of course, also works as a metaphor…

“I’ll vote for any Republican on the ballot.”

“Yes, fraulein, I know you will.”

Aww, Dough Offman didn’t win.

Erick Erickson is waving his little pom-poms (just $9.99 from Amazon) and claiming this as a huge win for conservatives because it proves that if the conservatives can crush establishment Repubs and ... um ... allow the Democrats to win.
