    Cartwright and Fritchey begin their long-shot campaign to replace Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the remake of “Twins.”


  2. - Pat collins - Tuesday, May 19, 09 @ 2:01 pm:

    Just because our heads have a similar shape does NOT mean you can dunk!


  3. - OneMan - Tuesday, May 19, 09 @ 2:01 pm:

    Shortly after this Rep. Fritchey tried to post-up on Bill Cartwright and discovered how Rod feels vs. the feds.


  4. - 47th Ward - Tuesday, May 19, 09 @ 2:02 pm:

    Stand-ins for Comcast’s new Shaq-Ben Stein ad?


  5. - South Side Mike - Tuesday, May 19, 09 @ 2:02 pm:

    “Hey, John, aren’t you going to show me this golden seat I keep hearing about in the news?”


  6. - Aon14 - Tuesday, May 19, 09 @ 2:02 pm:

    Cartwright: “I would like to thank the NBA for this award”


  7. - Anonymiss - Tuesday, May 19, 09 @ 2:08 pm:

    Ventriloquism makes a comeback.


  9. - EmptySuitParade - Tuesday, May 19, 09 @ 2:26 pm:

    More Capt Fax bias. Why no picture with Circular Firing Squad shorties —Skip, StateWideTom, etc., etc.
    CFSers unite! Stop this Capt. Fax discrimination immediately.

    I ran second for Congress and this photo op is all I get?

    “That’s weird…he looks nothing like me, and yet when I look down, I still see my reflection.”


  12. - George - Tuesday, May 19, 09 @ 2:44 pm:

    Would a comment about housetraining get me banned?

    Billy Idle meets Capitol Fax Idol.


  14. - Anonymous - Tuesday, May 19, 09 @ 2:46 pm:

    1 - Ever the gentleman, Fritchey still smiles despite finding someone with a better tan.

    2 - And on the right, we see the results of washing Bill Cartwright in hot water and bleach.

  17. - Jake from Mell-y-wood - Tuesday, May 19, 09 @ 3:09 pm:

    Because Rick Nielsen and Bun E. Carlos were unavailable, Rep. Fritchey poses with the next best available celebrity in town.

    47th Ward’s post was the best so far. . .


  18. - VanillaMan - Tuesday, May 19, 09 @ 3:10 pm:

    Which one is Fritchey?


  19. - Arthur Andersen - Tuesday, May 19, 09 @ 3:34 pm:

  22. - CC425 - Tuesday, May 19, 09 @ 3:58 pm:

    Just asking…I was just about to respond that’t what Obama looks like when he stands next to…just about anyone…that’s why his perfect counterpart is reggie love i guess
