Illinois Politician or Sopranos Character?

This quiz from mental_floss really goes a long way to illustrate how well-drawn and lifelike all the characters from The Sopranos really were.

And how poorly-drawn and silly politicians from Illinois have shown themselves to be. I think their show would get canceled after half a season.

Propaganza: Hillary Soprano

Two weeks ago, we did a side-by-side comparison of the candidates and Sopranos characters, but couldn't figure out who would be a fitting Tony. So, we asked for your help.

Apparently, Hillary Clinton saw our post and took us up on the challenge — check out her just-launched campaign clip. Guess which Soprano she decided to be?

And what do you think of Hillary comparing herself to a sociopathic criminal?

Candidate Casting Couch: The Sopranos, Post-Mortem

Well, it's all over. Regardless of your opinions on the final minutes of the finale episode — and if you saw it, you probably have strong ones — you have to admit that the show will be missed.

On Friday, we started casting our own version of the Sopranos with characters from the second most controversial thing on television: the upcoming Presidential election. We just couldn't help picking a few more…

Rudy Giuliani = Vito Spatafore
Enjoys kinky role-playing games

Barack Obama = Christopher Moltisanti
Young, not entirely unattractive; history of drug abuse; wishes he was black

John Edwards = Silvio Dante
It's all about the hair

Al Gore = Artie Bucco
Well-meaning loser

Dennis Kucinich = Big Pussy
No explanation necessary

It's hard to say good-bye — take a look at more Sopranos-candidate match-ups we came up with last week. And tell us how you'd cast the show.
