    Allawi always reminded me of Tony Soprano.

    Roger, I think someone has taken your hat.

    For some odd reason, I think Allawi looks like Scalia. Now, THAT’S a conspiracy theory.

    There’s also the mystery of how or why Thom Yorke of Radiohead and Vladimir Putin look so much alike. And was Dobby the House Elf based on Putin? Hmmm…

    Paul

    Allawi always reminded me of Tony Soprano.

    Same here, I guess that’s why I’ve never worried too much about his physical safety.

    He really looks like someone who can take care of himself.

  5. 5. bdog57

    Maybe shades of Danny Aiello in there, too?

  6. 6. Terrye

    Well look at a map. Italy and Iraq are closer together than Miami and Seattle.

    They probably share some DNA.

  7. Like I tell my black neighbors when they mistake me for some other white guy, all those people look alike.

  8. 8. Charlie (Colorado)

    I note that Bertolucci just gave $6,500,00 to Thailand tsunami victims.

    Anyone heard anything recently about Michael Moore contributing to the tsunami?

    Okay, it’s sort of off the topic, but still….

  9. 9. lindenen

    Berlusconi, not Bertolucci.

  10. 10. richard mcenroe

    Here’s hoping Allawi has Berlusconi’s survivability…

  11. 11. Fausta

    I can imagine all of them at a party, Allawi, Gandolfini, Bertolucci, Scalia and Berlusconi, wearing little name tags on their chests so they could tell each other apart.

    Dammit, I really hoped to post my own correction before someone else got to it.

    Is it just me? These people move me to tears.

  14. 14. DennisThePeasant

    Spooky.

    Kinda like me and Karl Rove.

  15. 15. Macker

    Not so bad as Gollum and James Carville!

    And Warner Bros.’ depiction of Dobby the Elf pissed off enough members of the Russian Duma!

  16. 16. Yehudit

    “Is it just me? These people move me to tears.”

    Me too.

  17. 17. Beto Ochoa

    Amazing likeness.

    If you need a scare put pictures of Michael Moore and Bruce Vilanch next to each other.

  18. 18. richard mcenroe

    Beto ó But Vilanche has to be in costume for “Hairspray” or you don’t get the full resemblance…
