Wednesday 8 October 2008, by Tampadan : There are many similarities. Adulation of a Messiah figure. The inability of the followers to coherently verbalize why they support their idol. The acceptance of vague platitudes as solutions. I feel that BTVS offers similarities also. When Obama said (paraphrased) "If it is determined that I can be of assistance regarding the financial crisis, then I’ll make myself available" It brought to mind Buffy’s line "If the Apocalypse comes, beep me." Palin’s teenage daughter’s name is Willow. Palin herself is more than a little buffy-esque, heroic, with an appealing naivety. She is rejected out of hand by the "in" cliques which heap abuse on her. Finally the established authority (the traditional press) are doing what they can to get rid of her. These comments are an anwser to this article : Should "Angel" Tv Series Season 4 help you vote for next President ?
