Tracy and Hepburn were paired in films but not married, nor did they live together since Tracy was married to someone else. Ozzie and Harriet were married in real life and portrayed a married couple on screen, largely TV. Their banter focused on home life. Tracy and Hepburn made all sorts of films about all sorts of topics, some serious. There is no equivalence between them and Ozzie and Harriet.<br /><br />And no equivalence between either pair and these two op-ed columnists. False equivalence is a propaganda tactic, not a rhetorical device. Somerby's superficiality and lack of understanding of basic things is on full display with this empty sequence. <br /><br />If Somerby were being paid by the word, there might be some justification for this tripe, but his stream of consciousness linking of pairs (why not Tom & Jerry or Abbott & Costello or does Somerby think gender matters in this conversation?) just takes up space with no info conveyed and no entertainment value.
