The parts our leaders played or will be playing this fall. with forgiveness asked of the characters I left out.
Sauron - Bush Saruman - Karl Rove Gollum - Ralph Nader Wormtongue - Bill O'Reilly Lord of the Nazgûl - Dick Cheney
Aragorn - John Kerry Frodo - Howard Dean Sam - Joe Trippi Gandalf - Jeanne Shaheen Galadriel - Mary Beth Cahill Elrond - Bill Clinton Eowyn - Hillary Clinton Arwen - Teresa Heinz Legolas - John Edwards Gimli - Kucinich King Theoden - Al Sharpton
And lest we forget. Jimmy Carter as Bilbo Terry McAuliffe as Treebeard and Al Gore as Denethor the unfulfilled Steward of Gondor

But I would put Richard Perle as Saruman and Rove as wormtongue. Chaney as Sauron and bush as Gollum. Wolfowitz is Lord of the Nazgûl.
