Read up on some more comparisons in urlLink "Presidential Candidates? They Look More like Brat Packers to Us" . My personal favorites include Al Sharpton as Long Duck Dong from Sixteen Candles and Howard Dean as Duckie from Pretty in Pink .
Who knew John Hughes was such a visionary? My real questions, however, are the following: 1. Are we ever going to have a candidate that resembles Jake Ryan, hottie senior in Sixteen Candles ? Maybe Dean was miscast as Duckie. Check out urlLink these photos of a young Howie and make up your own mind. Niiice, I say. 2. If Kerry, aka Principal Vernon from The Breakfast Club gets elected, will he begin his inaguration speeck by saying: "You're mine, Bender...I mean America. For four years you're mine!
