A few weeks ago, we held Political Celebrity Death Match Round 1 in which we partnered one musician with one ‘hero’ for each of the candidates. After all the votes were cast and polls closed we finally have a winner to announce! By a landslide Luke Skywalker and Stevie Wonder took the first round — congratulations Barack supporters! Though I must say I was disappointed that no one supported Arnold. I mean how many actors and actresses has he killed throughout his career? Come on, he could have taken Luke and Stevie by himself!

But I digress as we must prepare for battle in Round 2. Since Hillary dropped out of the race, she has been eliminated from the competition (until the VP’s are announced at least). This week we’re going to do another tag team match up featuring musicians and business persons. If you don’t remember, Political Celebrity Death Match is where we look at celebrities and who they endorse and then we let them battle it out in our head (imagination style). So, welcome HT readers, to round two of Political Celebrity Death Match 2008. READ ON for more…

McCain:

• Business person(s): McCain Brothers (Harrison and Wallace) – At first, I thought this was joke, but it’s apparently true. John McCain is supported by a privately owned Canadian company that makes frozen french fries. They have world-wide operations and are the 2nd largest privately held company in Canada according to Forbes. What I want to know is if John would ask them to change the name of their product. Remember Freedom fries anyone? I just hope they aren’t French-Canadian…
• Artist: John Ondrasik – What’s a matter, don’t know who this is? I didn’t either until I did a little research. His stage name is ‘Five for Fighting’ (ironic for McCain/staying in Iraq, no?). And he also wrote this popular one-hit wonder.

Obama:

• Business person(s): Ben Cohen & Jerry Greenfield – The ice cream guys that started out in Vermont and then sold out to Unilever, but hey, at least they still embrace the AmeriCone Dream and I’m doubt they will run out of Fossil Fuel before the rest of the planet does.
• Artist: 50 Cent – Where do I even start with this man? I remember when this came out and I was actually in a club somewhere in Miami. He’s been shot 9 times and sold crack when he was twelve. He has his own water, video game, condom, and body spray. Perhaps he should be the business mogul listed instead of the fat, old hippies.

So now you have the matchup, who will win? For this round we have french fries vs. ice cream coupled with the Superman song vs. someone who has taken as many bullets as Superman. There are no rules, just use your imagination and don’t forget to vote for the tag team you think would win this edition of Political Celebrity Death Match!
