OK...that is possibly the funniest thing I have seen all week!

Is there some sort of beltway blogger conspiracy afoot to confuse the Senior Senator from Illinois (and Senate Minority Whip) with this?

Um, is Durbin popular in France?

To be perfectly explicit about it, seated at the Left Hand of Reid above is one Richard J. Durbin, and not Jerry Lewis (as billed).

Sorry to post this in the comments section but I like your blog and think you may have a good chance of getting listed at our blog directory, "High Class Blogs."

Oh, thanks for the clarification, Dan. I wasn't sure which beltway conspiracy you were referring to.

That makes much more sense and really completes the Mandatory Abortions Trifecta feel that the photog was going for. However, I'm glad I was able to expose the depths to which Republicans will go to appease their Francophilic base.

Damn, man, I spent the better part of a day doing google image searches looking for the right allusions. This is great.

Incidentally, on the Metro I spied a copy of the Financial Times that used a similar photo for the front page, but one in which Reid is smiling gently and holding his hands in a beatific manner that really augments his halo. Failed the Superman II test, though.

There's a Superman II test? Does it involve a Fortress of Solitude?

Ok, I'm slow. Picture, pose, Superman, similar, etc.

I blame the Tetons.

> Oh, thanks for the clarification, Dan.

It occured to me after the fact that this image, while hilarious, might not be all that clear.

By the way... Chuck Schumer is no Ursa.

Also also... too bad Daschle's not around anymore. This could have been Tom, Dick and Harry.

Now that would be hilarious. Unfortunately, that would mean that Tom Daschle was in the Senate.
