It’s been two months since the shocking revelation that Tom Mulcair and “Gilmore Girls”’s Taylor Doose are basically the same person.
They look like they’re long lost twins – but moreover, they both have lofty political goals. As town selectman, Taylor Doose keeps Stars Hollow on the straight and narrow, while Mulcair hopes to become Canada’s next prime minister.
So, I bring you Who Said It: the Tom Mulcair or Taylor Doose Edition. Even hardcore Team Taylor and Team Tom supporters (these teams must exist, right?) may have a hard time with a few of these. Let us know how you did by tweeting @YahooPOP.
P.S.: I’ll take my Pulitzer now, thank you.
