[Here](http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2011/06/13/us_obama_weiner/md_horiz.jpg) and [here](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7g7vq7oz8bE/S-U6r1v4ecI/AAAAAAAAC9w/LhXSNABDwVs/s320/Bundesarchiv_Bild_146-1968-101-20A,_Joseph_Goebbels.jpg). _Coincidence?_ Of course it is. But I still thought it was interesting. ---

Yes, it is interesting. Both of them are/were rather unsavory characters. LOL ---

Weiner’s nose is WAY bigger. He has the nose of a camel. ---

Given what they say about [Joe Camel’s](http://piratenews.org/joe-camel-is-a-penis-says-edward-bernays.jpg) nose, that’s yet another interesting coincidence. ---

Goebbels was also a notorious ladies man. ---

Weiner has a much stronger and more squared-off jaw. Plus his face seems unnaturally pinched in that photo. ---

remarkable resemblance, although Hairline is definitely different ---

If you want to know who _I_ think he looks like, [click here](http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/251013_2153029990427_1386725409_32538034_7489550_n.jpg). Added coincidence: a Bikini Bottom is a kind of underwear, and there was apparently a tentacle of sorts involved. ---

The lip-line (very thin) and eyes are really similar. And they both have that sunken-in cheekbone look. I prefer fattier specimens, but the resemblance is striking. ---

You’re comparing a Jew to a Nazi? Even if only in physicality, it’s still extraordinarily rude and despicable. ---
