Has anyone else noticed that [John Kerry](http://www.johnkerry.com/front/splash.html) looks like [Count Chocula?](http://www.hellfire.com/versus/images/chocula.gif) As a google image search of “count chocula” turns up a pic of Kerry, I guess someone has. In the interest of being bipartisan in MPSIMS, [George W. Bush](http://archiv.radio.cz/nato/fotogalerie1/bush.jpg) looks like the [Budweiser Ferret](http://cyberlynn.tripod.com/4internet/bud.jpg) ---

The UK Home secretary Jack Straw is the SPIT of the demon headmaster\* [sub]\*Character in a UK children’s TV show popular at the time of Labour’s first term. I can’t find a link but I assure you the resemblance is eerie[/sub] ---

I always thought Bush looked way more like a mutant chimpanzee than he does a ferret. Kerry also looks more like Gomer Pyle than he does Count Chocula. ---

No, not a mutant chimpanzee, a stuffed one: [http://www.800bear.com/chimps.html](http://www.800bear.com/chimps.html) My kids have a toy chimp that has an even stronger resemblance. It’s something about the eyebrows. ---
