Candidates’ anagrams (kind of)
The very odd journal WordWays (which really ought to become a Web-based journal, imo) in this issue runs a piece by A. Ross Eckler that anagrams uses the letters in the various candidates’ names to make phrases. [The strikehtrough is because I got this seriously wrong.] These are in order of the longest words that can be formed from the letters in their names, but that’s a different story:
JOHN MCCAIN = MACHO CON MAN
RUDY GIULIANI = I RUN GAUDILY
MITT ROMNEY = MY, I’M ROTTEN
FRED THOMPSON = HOT FOND SPERM
HILLARY CLINTON = RANT? I ONLY CHILL!
He lists none for Barack Obama.
[ADDED LATER: Here are some anagrams:
HILLARY CLINTON: ICY THRILL ON LAN
JOHN MCCAIN = CONCH IN JAM
MIKE HUCKABEE = I BACK MEEK HUE
BARACK OBAMA = AM A BACK AROMA
ARK.: A CAB, A MOB
O, MA! BACK ARAB!
A CORK, MA! ABBA!
BAM. A CRAB. A-OK.
BAA! ROAM BACK!

These are not all anagrams.
“Macho Con Man” has an extra A, M, and O, and is missing the I and J.
“I Run Gaudily” is missing an I.
The others look correct.

Ack. You’re right! These are long phrases that can be made out of the letters. My fault, not Eckler’s. I’ve heavily edited the original posting (using strikethrough to indicate deletions).
[...] ROAM BACK! Dopo i neologismi di Slate, gli anagrammi dei candidati via Word ways e Mr. Miscellaneous David Weinberger. Eccone alcuni tra i più riusciti JOHN MCCAIN [...]
