I do believe the man in [this NYT photograph](https://static01.nyt.com/images/2019/04/29/us/politics/29dc-barrJP/merlin_153682209_155d7751-a3aa-4cac-a211-253abba23764-jumbo.jpg?quality=90&auto=webp) is the love child of Elton John and the late NBC News anchor John Chancellor. Plus super-jowls. They say his name is William P. Barr but I’m gonna call him John-John, after his dads. As for why there’s a wax figure stiffly posed a behind John-John… your guess is as good as mine. Maybe its a pinata. ---

Jimmy Kimmel: “Bill Barr looks like if Elton John had conversion therapy and it worked.” ---

For a younger target audience, you could go for “the love child of Elton John and John Goodman.” EDIT: [Here’s](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dw-9qN4U8AAvysj.png) a picture of John Goodman _(left)_ and Bill Barr _(right)_ side by side. ---

I’ve been advancing the relatively forthright: he looks like an evil Elton John. ---
