They all resemble Muppets because they are all being controlled by hands up their asses!

I love Rowlf, he's my favorite muppet. Though I think there's prolly other members of Congress who more accurately resemble him that that dude no one's ever heard of.

You sir, have insulted Muppets everywhere with this comparison.

Eric Cantor is frighteningly spot on.

Waxman is also really good.

The Animal comparison doesn't really work, but the rest are spot on.

God, Boehner's skin color is freaky. People should not be that color.

I think former Speaker Dennis Hastert looks like the Muppet's 'Mighty Favog' from SNL.

Especially with a whole chicken stuffed in Denny's mouth.

"The Muppets They Resemble" is even a better band name than "Bionic Llama."

Bravo Subby. Excellent Find.

"So, how you'd get all those soulless hunks of material in one place?"
"I waited till they were in session. After that, I called the Henson family and borrowed the puppets"

Comparing a Jewish senator to a muppet that is literally hook-nosed is either genius, or idiocy.

2012-05-02 8:59:44 PM  
Subby wins because the opening comparison is a not bad Beaker. I just knew there had to be a Beaker in there somewhere.

Cheers.

I like how usually they name the Muppet first, but not always, and sometimes they give the Congressperson's first name, but not always.

Had it just been a picture of Gonzo, and not a picture of Gonzo in the exact same pose, it might have been in poor taste.

That said, to me the only one of the bunch that made me go "oh" was the Miss Piggy one.
