In her New York Times column today, Gail Collins points out that Mitt Romney reminds some people of Mr. Potter, the banker in “It’s a Wonderful Life." And: "Fred Thompson reacts stonily to any suggestion that the rich should not always get richer, and it was a real treat to watch him in New Hampshire when a debate moderator asked about a windfall profits tax on oil companies. Fred stared at him as if he’d heard a really foul obscenity, or been asked to convert to Scientology." Meanwhile, "Rudy’s actual problem is not that he failed to campaign enough in Iowa and New Hampshire, but that he showed up just often enough for the voters to get a sense of what he’s really like when he isn’t heroically covered in dust from a terrorist attack."
But the highlight is that she closes with a quote from John McCain: “I feel like Will Smith in ‘I Am Legend’ — I’m the last guy standing that’s not a zombie."
