Oh look it’s that guy from Get Carter, the one who Michael Caine finds at the racetrack wearing a sweet pair of shades! No wait, it’s a lost member of Monty Python who gave up acting for a sweet hippie chick in Haight-Ashbury and was last seen in the Mojave Desert, high on peyote and wearing a bearskin. No wait again, it’s the first person of Turkish descent to lead a German political party. Huzzah for German Green party chairman Cem Ozdemir, the Barack Obama of Europe! [International Herald Tribune]
he looks like the villain from an episode of Doctor Who.
BEWEGAN!
It’s the real fifth Beatle the lads left behind in Hamburg.
From U-bahn bottom pincher to party hack is not such a big leap, is it?
Does he have a lousy Hummus recipe, too?
I wish him well though and hope he doesn’t descend into Nadir like egomania.
Even the Germans have given up on ‘whitey’. What’s this world coming to?
If you sit back and let your eyes glaze over a little it looks like John Oliver in a Jane Austen movie
SIDEBURNS!
Mutton Chops, baby!
Ralf Fücks
I WANT THAT NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ralf Fücks, director of the Heinrich Böll Foundation
jeez, what a name!
Sherlick Holmes in the Kase of the Klostrophobic Kirkpinar Kloset
magic titty: Dude, what the fuck? Where will all us white people retreat to if even European countries go brown? I must come up with a new contingency plan.
Serge Gainsbourg?
Harland Williams?
bitchincamaro: Turkish “guest workers” always get plum assignments, like janitor at Dr. Mueller’s Blue Kino and Sex Shop, or chairman of Die Grünen.
So wait, Bush ruined the rep of white people being able to lead worldwide? Well done sir, well done.

Dr. Carter is coming back to ER???
Wasn’t he in the French Connection.
OMG HALLOCHEN CEM!!! Wie geht’s dir und deinem schoenen Schwabischen akzent?
With boys like that at the helm, politics may yet become good TV.
Lord McCartney’s sister?
They’re moving into our mansions. Still, we’ve had a good run.
I will fight to the death against mutton chops being brought back into the pop culture. That is my line in the sand, hairwise.
Paul in Boca: Could be worse. He could be director of the Uwe Boll Foundation.
AxmxZ: uhhh.. im so looking for humor today, i really want to laugh at your comment, i really do, but….i dont Deutsch lesen
Did anyone else just start singing “Stayin’ Alive”? Just me? Ok…

4tehlulz: Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew
Fuck you.
Banisadr was the George Washington of Iran,
but I always thought he looked more like the Peter Sellers of Iran.

dano: Here’s my plan. Move to France and date as may French speaking Turkish girls as possible.
This is where they ended up, far from home, and far from talented.
In those days there was a fifth Rutle, Leppo, who mainly stood at the back.
He couldn’t play the guitar, but he knew how to have a good time,
and in Hamburg that was more difficult.

dano: Finland. They still spit at brunets. Tru fax.
monty: “Cemle” speaks with a regional accent. Think Obama if he talked hick-Arkansas instead of anchorman-Kansas.
must not paste … ok one more.
Well at least PJ O’R can’t say this anymore:
“Their lardy women have long, tangled masses of sticky hair under their arms, and the men shave the sides of their heads.”

When did Rowan Atkinson go into politics??? is this a Black Adder reality show???
JohnnyMeatworth:
He looks more like Baldrick.
ManchuCandidate: hahahahahaha, yeah, i’ll grant you that. PLUS he has a cunning plan to save Germany.
Peter Sellers is ALIVE! Katooooo.
Damn, nice lambchops. I won’t go as far back as 70s. Circa 1997-1999 was another period of big sideburns (Blues Traveler, Jason Priestly, etc).
Yes we Cem!
Flashman to the charge!
Looks like Steve Diggle from the Buzzcocks to me.
Man, I wish Australia would get with it and get some awesome politicians. I mean, Kevin Rudd’s okay, he’s the sort of man that’ll admit it when he went to a titty joint and STILL win an election (we really wanted to get rid of John Howard, aka, Bush’s stand-in Fluffer when Britain wasn’t on the job) but he doesn’t have THOSE lamb-chops, and he’s got no minority to speak of. Though, on the upside, the leader of our Greens party is a gay, pot-smoking ex-doctor. *nods* He’s pretty hilarious.
Now is ze time on Shprockets vhen ve dance.
TGY: Your stoorie haz become tiresome. Letz Danz!
Doesn’t half black beat muttonchops in world stage race poker?
napalmnacey:
I thought the greatest problem with your elected officials is that they vanish from the surf without a trace.
IAN HENDRY!
I think he resembles Liam Gallagher in ten years…
i’m kinda diggin the mutton chops.
It’s obvious Newkirk from Hogan’s Heroes!!!
Patrick McNee has some competition.
You like zee threesome, no?
Jeez, if any of you were seasoned aficionados of the wooly lambchops you’d know that guy looks just like Pete Townsend! Now ask me who’s Pete Townsend. Please ask, WHO’s Pete Townsend.
I’m over it.
Groovy, baby. Pass it over this way! There’s a daisy chain going on in the master bedroom if you need to get loose.
MathewBrooks: He is the Master!
“Gastarbeiter” means “guestworker”? Bummer, I always thought it meant something else.
bonsai pajamas: We all know Pete; he wrote the theme songs for CSI’s and that movie score for Ann Margaret…
Cem looks like the bass player for Englebert Humperdinck — no, not the the pop singer, the ORIGINAL Englebert. (Or maybe he was the guy sitting next to Eddie Izzard while Eddie thought up the pop singer’s stage name.)
bonsai pajamas: I’d say his face is smaller than that.
He reminds me of Lupin the Third!
It would be awesome if Barry could grow some facial hair before Jan 20th. I’m recommending a full Samuel L. Jackson look from Pulp Fiction, to really freak out the Red-staters.
napalmnacey: Phil Rudd for Prime Minister of Australia!
