    Candagrams: The Reader Submissions

    After we posted a series of anagrams for each of the presidential candidates yesterday, several reader wrote in with their own submissions – most of them far superior to what Wordsmith.org’s Anagram Server could produce. (Score one for humanity.)

    James Kushner (“Jerk Has Menus”) points out that, before H. Ross Perot, we had a real gem in Ronald Wilson Reagan ("Insane Anglo Warlord"), and after him George Walker Bush ("We Go Berserk. Laugh!").

    Benjamin Holt (“Lent Him Banjo”) suggests for Rudy Giuliani: “I, urinal id guy.” 

    Tariq Alvi, whose lack of a 'u' to accompany his 'q' has defeated Wordsmith, suggests the following: 

    • Hillary Rodham Clinton = Non-Chill, Harm Adroitly
    • Barack Hussein Obama  = Beam, aka Brash Cousin
    • Willard Mitt Romney = Weird Man To Try Mill

    Zach Sherwin (“Hazers Winch”), a Boston based comic, posted this anagram-themed rap on YouTube a few weeks ago.

    The winner of the official user submitted Candagram contest (prize: a new hobby), is Benjamin T. Kallen (“Belt 'em, lank ninja!”), who produced these. 

    • Hillary Rodham Clinton = Hi, darn ol' chilly matron!
    • Barack Hussein Obama = Run amok, ace! Bash bias!  
    • Willard Mitt Romney = Wry lad, no term limit
    • John Sidney McCain = Join in, chancy Dems!
    • Fred Dalton Thompson = Heft! Drop tons, old man!

    We are, as always, humbled. Think you can top it? Email us.
