  • Obama Doppelganger Sighting

    Posted Sunday, August 24, 2008 9:37 PM | By Christopher Beam

    At first I thought it was a body double, like Saddam Hussein’s decoys. I saw him giving an interview to a local TV station. If you squinted, he looked exactly like Barack Obama. Same ears, same hairline, same skin, same smile -- same tight jeans, even.

    But different voice. The man, identified to me as Eduardo, is actually Cuban, and speaks little English. He’s here to shoot a special for a Miami-based TV variety show, which presumably uses his likeness as a gag.

    If he could just nail the baritone, Fred Armisen might be out of a job.
