Rush at CPAC: Which pitiful, doomed and deluded movie character sums him up best for you?

[mahina]

For me, Rush is 100% Harry Zimm in Get Shorty, in the scene where he drunk dials the wrong guy and tells him, in a sad parroting of Chili Palmer, "I'm the one who's tellin you how it is."

Stupid as hell, wrong beyond reckoning, sad and outdated, pretending to be the cool guy that he can't even understand.

That, or possibly the Giant Leech in the aptly named Attack of the Giant Leeches.
