Jon Stewart started calling Cheney "The Penguin!"
I've been calling him "Oswald Cobblepot for months now, but it never seemed to catch on here. Finally, Jon got it! As did this DUer, Batgirl, who agreed that all Cheney was missing was a few fish dangling from his teeth!

3. I've liked Darth Cheney, but since it hasn't caught on...
Penguin will do nicely!

4. "The Penguin" -- after the Burgess Merideth character on Batman!
Remarkable similarity -- especially the growling out of the sides of their mouths.

9. DeVito is uglier but doesn't have that growling-out-the- side-of-his-mouth
thing going on.



(I misspelled "Meredith")

10. good one
but makes him look like the Big C of the Lovecraft universe; those should be tentacles instead of fish.

(Way too much imagination for this late at night...)
