President? Hah. McCain or Obama as 007?
Film writer Joe Leydon found a delicious quote from Daniel Craig that I just can’t resist sharing.
An enterprising reporter asked Craig which presidential candidate would be the better Bond. I loved his answer: “Obama would be the better Bond because — if he’s true to his word — he’d be willing to quite literally look the enemy in the eye and go toe-to-toe with them. McCain, because of his long service and experience, would probably be a better M… There is, come to think of it, a kind of Judi Dench quality to McCain.”
Hmmm. What do you think?
or
If we’re talking physical resemblance, Obama matches up best with the current Felix Leiter:
And for that matter, McCain could pass for the original M, Bernard Lee:
And Sarah Pailin? Nah … not touchin’ that one!
In other Bond news, Quantum of Solace is pulling down some strong early reviews. November. 14. Can’t. Get. Here. Soon. Enough.

Judi Dench! LOL! I love it. I think the answer is obvious, and if you need further proof: http://i37.tinypic.com/4r2fck.jpg Nuff said. :)
