The witty, famous man with the influential friends, or the nobody?
The nobody beat the somebody that time, when Ted Cruz upset Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst.
Bennett the Nobody can still be shy/self-effacing, telling funny stories to distract attention.
It became known immediately as "Stuyvesant's Folly" everybody holding the nobody would want to live with a lot of strangers.
(It's not too shabby on wine, either: the Nobody has 29 by the glass and 240 by the bottle).
Meanwhile, the "nobody touches my princess" routine implies that a woman is too weak to protect her own boundaries.
The ads, created by Dailey, West Hollywood, Calif., part of the Interpublic Group of Companies, reprise the "Nobody better lay a finger" theme of previous ads.
"But me, being the nobody I am, and because I'm so short, I guess they figured nobody would pay attention to me," Walters said.
Meanwhile, the Nobody gets comically misidentified by the gawping public ("which Alan are you?") or, in Bennett's memories of his Oxford graduate days, patronised on high table.
(Republicans are also having fun with the "nobody clapped" line, putting up on YouTube snippets of applause from his speech last year).
Indeed, in any encounter with the writer himself, there will always be at least two "Alans" present: the Somebody and the Nobody.
