Talk:Falling Hare
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heya everyone,
I just watched the "Falling Hare" cartoon and the gremlin responds to a question from Bugs saying, "Well it ain't Vindle Vilky!!" lol (If i'm spelling it correctly.) I just wondered who the heck Vindle Vilky is. I tried to do a search on MSN, Google and didn't get a thing. You would think that the writers would haven't have made it up. (It wouldn't any make sense.)
Does anybody know what this persons all about?
Thanks in advance, Matt mpm627@alltel.net
Wendell Willkie–Gnomz007(?) 23:05, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
- Utility industry executive who became the dark horse Republican candidate for President in 1940, finishing respectably against Franklin Roosevelt. During WOrld War II, he became a sort of roving ambassador for Roosevelt, and was viewed as having given a highly credible performance in that role.
- A portrait of Willkie can be seen next to Roosevelt (as, respectively, the Mt. Rushmore figures of choice for Republicans and Democrats) in Aviation Vacation (Avery, 1941). The Gremlin indicates to Bugs Bunny (loudly) that he is not Willkie in Falling Hare (Clampett, 1943).
