Reporting for Duty
By Steven Taylor @ 11:07 am

This is what came to mind last night. (In fact, the image that specifically came to mind was that of Gilligan saluting during the theme song when the song tells us “The mate was a mighty sailing man”–however, I couldn’t find a picture of that).

Update: Jeff Jarvis has another photographic juxtaposition.

Update II:protein wisdom has another comparison (hat tip: Mark the Pundit)

Update III: Included in the OTB Traffic Jam.

    1. I could have done without the salute, the birth in the West Wing, and the references to being at home.

      Both the West Wing and the home comments will play into the hands of critics who say he has aimed his career at the presidency, da da, da da.

      And we’re not in the same boat. I don’t have a boat. His cost $800,000.

    3. If he wants to be the skipper…
      maybe it would be a good thing not to imitate Gilligan…

      And for the last time, no, the Navy does *not* salute like that. Heh.

    7. When he said “what if? what if?” near the end of his speech, it sounded to me like the moment before William Shatner breaks into song.

    14. Kerry on Gilligan’s Island?
      Apparently, Steven Taylor wasn’t the only one reminded of Gilligan by John Kerry’s convention. Maureen Dowd was, too, according to Matt Drudge:
