Separated at Birth? Or Conjoined by FOX News? ... Which public figures do YOU get mixed up?

[bondwooley]

From an outside poll:

This week, FOX News' Greta Van Susteren apologized profusely after her show aired a story about Rep. Maxine Waters accompanied by footage of former USDA-employee Shirley Sherrod.

It seems FOX News thinks all black women look alike. It's fascinating that all of this comes hot on the heels of conservatives accusing the NAACP of being racist, and the Tea Party in total denial that any of its members are hostile to minorities.

But, outrageous as this was, we're tempted to cut FOX and Van Susteren some slack. ... Which public figures do you get mixed up?

... my personal favorite response in the poll options is "Mitch McConnell and The Scarecrow from Oz".

The DU crowd must have some good suggestions. Let's hear them!

17. His "stage" name is Chris Crocker, and he's an "edutainer"

According to wiki:

He is a self-described "edutainer" who produces and acts in multiple transgressive videos. In almost all of Crocker's work he presents himself as an openly gay and effeminate Southern adolescent in a "small-minded town" in the Bible Belt where his sexual orientation and outspokenness are a "subtext... rarely addressed directly and never completely accepted." The Tennessee-based Crocker, a stage name, keeps his identity and exact location private because according to him, and as seen in the public comments to his work, there are safety concerns and death threats in response to his YouTube and MySpace video blogs and profile. According to his MySpace profile, Crocker lives in Los Angeles as of January 2008.<18> As of May 2010, Crocker has returned home to Tennessee and solely travels to Los Angeles for business ventures.

Which always makes me feel bad since Ben Nelson is such a dick, but Bill Nelson, a man I once doubted could be a good Dem, is actually a decent guy.

[Cleita]

13. You know what that problem was.
