=== The Question: Who is your doppelganger?===
Does it have to be an Illinois politician?
- Rich Miller - Monday, Jun 22, 20 @ 2:09 pm:
Nope.

QOTD kinda defeats being able to maintain some form of anonymity on CapFax;)

Cook County Sheriff Sheahan. Was mistaken for him on a regular basis when I worked at the Thompson Center. Was in Springfield for Quinn’s inauguration and Jim Durkin thought I was Sheahan.

Jerry Garcia

Unless any of us look like Brad Pitt or George Clooney, I don’t think maintaining anonymity is going to be an issue
QOTD: In looks, Garrison Keillor (although I was better looking as a young man but alas father time has taken its toll). In personality Sherlock Holmes.

A cross between Brad Pitt and George Wendt
- Stuff Happens - Monday, Jun 22, 20 @ 2:34 pm:
I don’t really have one, but since I haven’t gotten a haircut in a while the top of my head looks like a cross between Pat Quinn and the guy from the Operation game.
- Token Conservative - Monday, Jun 22, 20 @ 2:35 pm:
Clooney.
- Slugger O’Toole - Monday, Jun 22, 20 @ 2:37 pm:
My looks and hairline have tracked with Phil Collins since the eighties.
- Token Conservative - Monday, Jun 22, 20 @ 2:38 pm:
Also, the Rich Miller/Russ Langmore (Ozark) comparison is uncanny.

I used to be confused quite frequently with my first cousin and former Republican State Rep. Barbara Wheeler. Considering our very different voting records, it resulted in some interesting encounters! Miss having her in the GA…

I’d tall you but then I’d have to change my nom de CapFax.
- Chicago Cynic - Monday, Jun 22, 20 @ 3:03 pm:
BTW, when I saw that over the weekend, I had to reread the story because I thought, damn, that looks just like Tim Drea.
- Oswego Willy - Monday, Jun 22, 20 @ 3:04 pm:
Probably… Tom Cross.
- Flapdoodle - Monday, Jun 22, 20 @ 3:10 pm:
When I taught at a western university, I was regularly mistaken for the university prez. I introduced myself to him as his on-campus double and he promptly offered me tenure if I’d start covering his meetings with state legislators and higher ed bureaucrats. I declined but he didn’t hold it against me.

From what people tell me: Face: Gary Cole; hair: Janick Gers; speech: Kevin Bacon. Best I can do.

If I were to cast Rich Miller in a movie I would use Zach Galifianakis.
Also, there are a cadre of us bald, bearded, slightly overweight politicos that if one of us commits a crime the other will be arrested.
