More Than One Hung Low

Apparently, there's a move afoot by the Feds to have local/state election officials translate candidates names into Chinese characters in precincts with predominant Chinese-speaking populations. Some of the examples noted were for Willard "Mitt" (aka "Muff") Romney and Fred "Foghorn Leghorn" Thompson. Willard's name translated into "Sticky Rice" or "Uncooked Rice" (but apparently not "Condoleeza Rice"). Fred's comes out as "Virtue Soup," which we've never tasted but would imagine is pretty thin and unappetizing.

But how about some of the other Rebunglecan candidates? We would venture these guesses:

Sen. Walnuts McCain: "Gen. Bush's Bok Toy"

Rudy "McRomney" Giuliani: "Shady Man Who Likes to Dress as a Woman"

Sen. Sam Brownback: "Dances With Dinosaurs and Jesus"
