It’s not a real presidential campaign until people start claiming to be dead-ringer lookalikes for the candidates.
One of these two guys will spend the next few years appearing at birthday parties, used car lots, and so on. Indeed, an obscure chick named Tina somebody is already cashing in by playing Sarah Palin.
Mort, a handyman in Boise, is turning heads with his John McCain mannerisms. As the woman in this photo said, “I can’t believe how much Mort looks like McCain in that Navy hat! Hey, Mort, can you fix our front stoop tomorrow?”
Meanwhile, Ernie, who carries groceries at a Kroger supermarket in South Bend, is honing his Barack Obama routine and refers to the tips he lives on as “Change I can believe in.”

- Posted by Inuyeah right like they know what a Gal. of mick costs.
- Posted by Insain1ROFL, ‘Change I can believe in’. Does anyone want the average Joe running the country, or do you want someone smarter, better, faster?
- Posted by WorsbeursieSo, Worsbeursie, I guess you’re suggesting the Six Million Dollar Man? Not a bad idea except, who can afford that kind of Pork Barrel spending right now?
- Posted by BandageTake a good look at these faces, they will be the be the replacement robots who replace whomever win the election.
- Posted by Dick LongLet’s vote for Obama and have socialism. Man, I always wanted to stand in a bread line…
- Posted by Unions=Organized ApathyI want to see photos of the “imposters”–as the captions point out, these are photos of the REAL candidates.
- Posted by meHey ‘me’. I was thinking the same thing. I noticed ‘Unions=Organized Apathy’ didn’t find much to laugh at here either. I think between the three of us we should boycott Bob’s blog and never come back! Are you with me?!
- Posted by BandageHey, count me in!
- Posted by Robert BaslerWhy is it that no one found themselves cracking up at the lady in the McCain picture that has shockingly discovered she’s about to be run down by someone with a camera? Her expression is caught somewhere between trying to look good for a picture, and absolute terror of impending injury.
The only thing that would make it funnier is another shot, a few seconds later, where the lady has a bloody nose and a black eye as a result of the run-in.
Dang. I’m in a sadistic mood tonight. Maybe I should just go to bed.
