Ha ha ha, how much did Fox News screw up this poll? Hey Fox, you can’t ask a “look-alike” question when you post two images of the SAME PERSON. Obviously Obama looks exactly like Oba– (Hold on… WHAT IS IT NOW, Intern Riley, we are trying to finish a post… wait, what? On the left you say?… British?… WHITE??…) [Fox News]

Well, now they can just look at Simon’s birf certificate and be satisfied, yes?

FlownOver March 3, 2010 at 4:33 pm

This is why I’m such a fan of Fox News – it’s all about the funny.

Oh, and the occasional glimpse of the urine stains on Steve Doocy’s pantaloons.

FMA March 3, 2010 at 4:33 pm

They all look alike to me. Isn’t the guy on the left one of the Jacksons?

Oldskool March 3, 2010 at 4:34 pm

They did the same thing with Dubya and a chimp, didn’t they? They didn’t? That’s hard to believe.

Troubledog March 3, 2010 at 4:34 pm

How about Charlie Rangel and Cab Calloway?

No wonder they kicked Paula Abdul off the show — she looks terrible!

Troubledog March 3, 2010 at 4:35 pm

Come here a minute March 3, 2010 at 4:35 pm

Wow, that is striking. And Ellen DeGeneres looks just like Kathleen Sebelius!

SayItWithWookies March 3, 2010 at 4:36 pm

I can see the resemblance — one’s half-white and the other is half-assed.

JMP March 3, 2010 at 4:37 pm

Well, they both have penises and dark graying hair, neither is fat, and Fox sifted through their images to find two where they’re making similar expressions. That’s it, and uh, what exactly was the point of this anyway?

Though it does beg the question: who would be more painful to work with, the Senate Republican obstructionists or the delusional, tone deaf early AI wannabes?

The guy on the left is British. He gets Socialist health care. The guy on the right is… therefore socialist.

RoscoePColtraine March 3, 2010 at 4:44 pm

One guy has a set of balls….

NopantsMcGee March 3, 2010 at 4:44 pm

The Obama on the left has been photo-shopped to look ‘whiter’. Typical Fox.

mumblyjoe March 3, 2010 at 4:45 pm

Funny thing is, I had that same expression as they did, when I saw that poll! Clearly I ALSO=Simon, =Obama.

AnnieGetYourFun March 3, 2010 at 4:46 pm

“One man is evaluating a musical performance and the other is listening to the discourse at the health care summit but are both thinking they know best?”

It’s been said before, probably seven or eight times already today on this site alone, but Fox News really has become a parody of itself. There is really little else to say about them.

Lionel Hutz Esq. March 3, 2010 at 4:52 pm

So, Barak Obama is responsible for the Spice Girls?

The Conservatives are right, he is evil incarnate.

SayItWithWookies March 3, 2010 at 4:54 pm

[re=524038]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: One man is listening to the same old song-and-dance churned out by rote from a gang of attention whores oblivious to the context and emotion and humanity behind what they’re doing — and the other is a judge on American Idol.

St.SarahOfThePerpetuallyOffended March 3, 2010 at 4:55 pm

OT. I just read where Snowbilly is now working with Harper Collins to write a book on virtues.

queeraselvis v 2.0 March 3, 2010 at 4:55 pm

In a fair and balanced world, Fox would also do a side-by-side comparison of Glenn Beck and Theodore from “Alvin and the Chipmunks.” For the troops, and for freedom.

Extemporanus March 3, 2010 at 4:57 pm

Is the “Leave a comment” box sponsored by the PeePoo bag people?

Tommmcatt March 3, 2010 at 5:01 pm

Uh, no. Under no circumstances, whatsoever. Obviously.

JMP March 3, 2010 at 5:04 pm

[re=524038]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: I don’t know about Simon, but considering who else was talking at at the health reform debate, Obama would be right in thinking he knows best.

Pandy March 3, 2010 at 5:05 pm

[re=524038]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh……I get it! I get it! The president is being rude like Simon. Ohhhhhhhhh…… he’s a bad boy, he is. Thanks to the Fox News for making that so clear. I would have thought he was doing his job.

This is not a scientific pole.

GOPCrusher March 3, 2010 at 5:20 pm

Worst part. More Americans probably know who the guy on the left is. I haz a sad.

Extemporanus March 3, 2010 at 5:20 pm

[re=524054]Pandy[/re]: FOX is saying that Obama’s a cheeky monkey.

germansteel March 3, 2010 at 5:21 pm

Both of them are thinking he is the smartest guy in the room. One of them is correct.

Monsieur Grumpe March 3, 2010 at 5:21 pm

Do you think Rupert Murdoch reads this shit?

S.Luggo March 3, 2010 at 5:27 pm

Fair and that other thing.

mumblyjoe March 3, 2010 at 5:29 pm

Wait a sec, I’m confused. Is Fox News comparing the Republican participation at the health care summit to the American Idol “wannabees” that Simon justly pillories for the first several weaks of each season of AI? Because, not only am I inclined to agree, but I can kinda sympathize with both of them, honestly. Also, doesn’t “[Person X] thinks they know best” stop being a barb when it’s obvious that they do know better than most of the other tards in the room, as is obviously the case with Simon, and dare I say, Obama as well?

maven March 3, 2010 at 5:32 pm

Its the celebrity meme, of course. They are both “celebrities”.

M Lite March 3, 2010 at 5:47 pm

I’d file this under Fox News’ “Black President is being uppity” meme. Obviously, the orange man in the room knows best.

M Lite March 3, 2010 at 5:49 pm

I think Simon is there to just hide that, but the “thinking [he] knows best” is the key. Really, I guess this also hits the Librul Elitist meme too.

XOhioan March 3, 2010 at 5:50 pm

How lazy. A GOOD Fox look-alike poll would have Obama and a picture of Hitler.

Asa Hawks March 3, 2010 at 5:50 pm

[re=524073]maven[/re]: it mayhap that the right has found another choice celebrity: Alister C. Anderson, who still hates the federal gubmit for the War of Northern Aggression against Good Christian Slaveholders. With a straight face he says this shit.

Next stop, his own show on Fox.

Joshua Norton March 3, 2010 at 5:59 pm

Can they combine this with the “touching people’s privates” one? Much hilarity would be sure to ensue. Oh, and maybe some fart jokes.

dumblondest March 3, 2010 at 6:08 pm

Hey, my President knows how to use his middle finger without a teleprompter!!

lawrenceofthedesert March 3, 2010 at 6:15 pm

Nah, but I still say that from the right angle, Alanis Morissette looks strangely like young Mary Tyler Moore.

gurukalehuru March 3, 2010 at 6:17 pm

Both of them are thinking “Jesus H. fucking Christ on a pogo stick, how can these people be this stupid and still manage to dress themselves in the morning?”

Jukesgrrl March 3, 2010 at 6:37 pm

[re=524068]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: “Do you think Rupert Murdoch reads this shit?”

Depends what you mean by “this shit.” If you mean juvenile slams at the president in his own media, I’d say “definitely no.” If you mean Wonkette commentary, I’d say “possible” since he probably Googles phrases like “urine stains on Steve Doocy’s pantaloons” and “PeePoo bag people”
on a regular basis.

comicbookguy March 3, 2010 at 6:54 pm

So which of the Republicans presenting their ideas at the summit is William Hung?

petehammer March 3, 2010 at 7:07 pm

Actual comment, basically the definition of ironic:

“What arrogance!…that Obama speaks to John McCain in the tone he did. MR. McCain has DONE, EXPERIENCED, ENDURED,and CONTRIBUTED MORE to this country than Obama will EVER, nor CARE to do! I came out of my seat when I saw how this “no nothing President” addressed a REAL man who could run rings around him in every arena. The problem with DUMB PEOPLE, is that they never realize just how dumb and inadequate they are so they go through life with this superior attitude never realizing how stupid they appear to even the most mildly intelligent people. You are an embarassment Obama!”

Pandy March 3, 2010 at 7:21 pm

I can’t believe the Republicans want to push the “funny faces” meme, considering the last guy they had in office.

But where is the pic of Obama in a T-shirt rubbing his nipples?

artpepper March 3, 2010 at 9:20 pm

Also — this was very original — when SPY Magazine did it in 1986.

Didn’t know Fox News was on a first name basis with the president. I wonder how many times during the eight years of the Bush admin they captioned a picture using only “George.”

I guess showing respect would only risk more uppitiness.

Reminds me of the bit from the British show Absolutely Fabulous, where Patsy looks at a black guy and says “Has anyone ever told you that you look like Sean Connery?”
