On the left is Presidential aspirant John McCain. On the right is ornery grandpa Cotton Hill from Fox's King Of The Hill, the best animated sitcom in the history of all television evar!!! Yep, I'm a fan. I even nicknamed AverageToddler after one of the main characters.[1]
Tell me these two fellas don't bear striking resemblances!
Both are "war heroes".But only one of these dudes is actually trying to become the next President. And since I need a nickname to avoid typing the words "John McCain" to the point of carpal tunnel this Fall, I present to you his new moniker: Cotton Hill.
Both were "war prisoners".
Both are heavily decorated vets.
Both are gully. Cotton "killed fiddy men with his bare hands".
Both throw their military service in your face at will.
Both prefer dramatically younger women.
Both have explosive tempers.
Both are mean as hell.
Both are old as dirt.
Both walk with a limp.
Both have a history of health problems.[2]
Thanks to AverageCommenter crys for the nickname suggestion.
Question: Is the McCain/Cotton comparison spot-on or is it just me and crys?
[1] Guess which one.
[2] On a somber note, Cotton actually died during an episode this season after he had an allergic reaction to shellfish at Benihana. Here's a Youtube Video tribute some dude put up. I have no idea why it's in black and white.

I can't believe you named your kid Boomhauer. Sad, my friend... so sad.
man i am laughing SO HARD! this is just what i needed today - and it can't be just us! bravo! bravo!
I'm co-signing on the resemblence as well. And not just because I'm an avg friend of avgcommenter crys! *lol*
-OG
I love this! And I love King of the Hill. Yes, there is a significant resemblance between Cotton and McCain. I wonder whether it's accidental. Did you see the old episodes when Ann Richards was on?
OMG,PERFECT!
It's not funny--McAss had over 22 flying bombing missions- Kill scores of innocent folks.
I'm surprised no one has made the connection before. Brilliant
The comparison is apt. They even look alike. Most likely share an equivalent IQ and both probably need to sit down to pee since to do otherwise means screaming for the wife to come clean up the mess again.
PS: you're probably the only person I know who watches that show.
Am I allowed to total up all the old man jokes in the comments and an insert equal number of racial remarks later?
Or do I have to confine myself to "latte liberal" snark? I can work with that.
BTW, the comparison is uncanny, heh :) I laughed!
Oh my, I am so stoked to see someone else has made this connection! I've thought the same thing since the get-go. Another similarity between Cotton and McCotton: They're both wrong most of the time and they both berate their trophy wives. Good call!
King of the hill is a great show, especially the first three or four seasons. Do yourself a favor and watch the reruns on FX. The show is funnier than hell even though they make more fun of liberals then conservatives. Why is it that liberals can laugh at themselves?

Everyone has been comparing McCain with Grandpa Simpson, but this is so much more precise. I guess that makes Cindy McCain DeeDee?

Never thought about this, but since you mention it:
* Bleached blonde hair
* Enhanced bust
* Decades younger
* Never says anything of substance
Yep, I guess that would make CindyMac DeeDee.
I swear I was just thinking this. So true. What took me so long to see it?
