Iron Maiden the biggest of the "New Wave of Metal" groups from the 80s has a mascot Eddie.

So here's John McCain.

And here's Eddie, and again.

I think it's entirely possible that John McCain might, in fact, be Eddie the Iron Maiden mascot and as such John McCain might be immortal! Something to think about if you're going to vote this year.

There is an uncanny resemblance.

McCain has evidently never heard what happens when one "assumes" (makes a you-know-what out of u and me):

I can't believe you brought back Eddie. What a blast from the past that guy is.

(Fixed that for ya)

I'm thrilled that somebody was thinking of Iron Maiden. I was just going through my collection of CDs. Strange that their website is down....

Somewhere in Time (where McCain will be in 2030) and Piece of Mind (is it too early to make jokes?) were about the best pieces of heavy metal history that exist.

That said, Hillary has a look-alike too...

/I'm so, so sorry
//Just couldn't help it...

OMG that is the most amazing resemblence ever. I think that might get him some extra votes actually. Can you imagine "Eddie for President" posters, conversely the democrats couldhave a chance with rebuttal adverts. "Run for the hills" anyone.

Thanks, Baphomet - you gave me inspiration for a recent Worth1000 Photoshop competition. It didn't do that well in the voting, but it got me a gold star from one of the jurors. The image can he found here.
