I am pretty emphatically not a Hillary fan, and yet, the analogy pretty much falls apart on any level:

Brett Favre's wife has never played football or any sport seriously as far as I know that would make her in any way qualified take over her husband's jobs.

Hillary on the other hand, as much as I dislike her, is fairly well qualified politician at this point in her own right. Her Senate experience puts her at the same level as Thompson, and Obama, if we're just looking at being elected and serving in the Senate (as opposed to actually holding views or supporting the positions we want to see supported, which I prefer as qualifications).

Sure, her experience is limited and it's largely a result of the exposure that she got being married to Bill, but to compare the situation to the Brett Favre's wife taking over for him seems simply absurd.

ETA: If Lynne Cheney actually ran for office would you consider her well qualified? I think I would. I think this Hillary/Favre thing would be less attractive as an analogy if anything Hillary said was something that you agreed with.
