DCist's Separated at Birth
Browsing around the site a few days ago, we were struck by how much the photo of local informercial crazy guy Matthew Lesko resembled Ward 1 Council member and club shutter-downer Jim Graham — there's the poofy silver hair, the 1950s glasses, the bowtie.

Anthony Williams jumping into a pool and Ashy Larry from Chappelle's Show:
Williams again with not-actually-our-rep in Congress Louie Gohmert:

So come on readers, tell us some of your own! And don't forget, if you're posting URLs, don't put the http:// part.
