- Sansa & Arya = Malia & Sasha
- Cersei Lannister = Hillary Clinton (if you believe the Rethugs)
- Petyr Baelish = Paul Ryan (will say anything to further his own agenda, can't be trusted)
- Catelyn Stark = Nancy Pelosi
- Dick Cheney = Lord Varys (power behind the throne, loyal only to himself, creepy)

Dick Cheney = Roose Bolton.

(6,238 posts)No one compares the sheer awesomeness that is Daenerys Stormborn, to that idiot Palin and gets away with it. Daenerys is the only ruler who actually seems to care about the common people. Daenerys frees slaves, Palin wants to bring back slavery. This is unforgivable, I hereby sentence you to take the black. /end rant.

(12,272 posts)Palin is a sellout, Daenerys could never be. Dany's mistakes have resulted from being too trusting, but she is able to adapt and she is intelligent, plus she really is magical.
Palin, trusts the wrong people even when she should know better and believes in magic in this world. Palin is more like Lysa Arryn.

(6,238 posts)I loved when Tyron showed her what a fool she was by having Bronn kill one of her knights. Her misery made me laugh. God, she annoys me.

(12,272 posts)Annoying in general and even more so because they have power.
Tyrion was wonderfully clever at his trial, I still smile at his confession and I really like the relationship between him and Bronn.

(7,570 posts)We particularly see in the third book that Daenerys is pretty damn smart and an inspiring leader who cares about the underdog. I think a much better Palin comparison would be Lysa Arryn--a superficial, vindictive woman who is not very bright and who has a strange relationship with her kid.
But other than that, yeah, pretty awesome.
