Its like when a 12 or 13 seed has pulled off some upsets but then receives its long postponed reckoning at the hands of Kentucky, North Carolina, or Lew Alcindor. I think Bill Pullman's character from Spaceballs would have had a better chance against Jackson. Old Hickory walks into the arena, sees Whitmore, laughs, tells him he doesn't believe in aliens or that the world is round, and proceeds to disembowel him.Chancellor of the Exchequernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199597050156289619.post-64649074635449499132012-02-21T10:02:05.840-07:002012-02-21T10:02:05.840-07:00Jackson all the way.

But if Jackson had still been President at the time, the aliens would have taken one look at the planet and decided to get the fuck out of there instead of messing with this badass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199597050156289619.post-38137654846382200472012-02-21T09:49:11.394-07:002012-02-21T09:49:11.394-07:00As someone who nearly dispatched 'Old Hickory,...As someone who nearly dispatched 'Old Hickory," allow me to comment. Thomas, he's a beast of a man. He'll kick your ass six ways to Sunday, or whatever the actual expression is. It's common sense to say, "go for the groin," but Jackson defies common sense. (He may, or may not have actually pissed on Thomas Paine!) No, Jackson's so #BatShitCrazy, he'd cut it off like Dieter Von Cunth from MacGruber just to laugh in your face, and beat you with the now detached wangage. Mr. Whitmore, it was nice knowing you, Will Smith cannot save you now.DEisenhower34noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199597050156289619.post-73268470906990557802012-02-20T20:08:03.371-07:002012-02-20T20:08:03.371-07:00This is bare-knuckled-brawl to the death, not shoo...This is bare-knuckled-brawl to the death, not shoot-a-missile-at-a-target-twenty-miles-away-with-a-thirty-million-dollar-plane-to-the-death.<br /><br />That said, with America destroyed, President Whitmore might not get waited on quite so hand-and-foot. He chops a few logs, he's got twenty-five years on Jackson... maybe he pulls it out. But then I think of the psychology of a fight to the death and "inhuman rage machine that ran on pure bile," kind of just feels like the bet to make.Valerie Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05715748655909242883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199597050156289619.post-86083639748344190002012-02-20T10:06:15.262-07:002012-02-20T10:06:15.262-07:00These two badasses have a lot in common.

They're both war veterans, widowers who took revenge on those they blamed for the deaths of their beloved wives (Witmore killed aliens, Jackson conquered the political opponents who slandered Rachel), and let's not forget, both fighters in this match-up have taken out their fair share of aliens: http://sharpwriter.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d3cq0aj<br /><br />The only difference I see is that Witmore needs a fighter jet to take out his enemies while all Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson needs is a stick. Did TW ever thwart his own assassin? No. Do we have any record of him fighting anyone but Jeff Goldblum? No. Witmore might be a formidable threat in the cockpit, but Jackson is experienced in more up close and personal forms of combat. He's been fighting his whole life, and I doubt he'd lay down for a pretty-boy like Witmore. Despite AJ's age, I think he'll have no problem dispatching Witmore.Librahawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369637575791157667noreply@blogger.com
