    Mark, this is beneath you.

    Nah, that’s what blogging is for. OTOH, that’s harsh.

  3. Bloix says:

    There’s a definite similarity in the shape of the nose … she’s got a much better chin, though.

  4. Swift Loris says:

    Too pointless to be harsh.

  5. Oxymoron pleonasm tautology of the day: “disgraced News Corp. executive”. [Update abusing blogger privileges to confuse comment thread]

    Really, this had no intended political point. When I saw the news photo, it struck me that Brooks had the hair-do and the supercilious look of one of a Restoration courtier.

  7. Mark Kleiman says:

    James, don’t you mean “pleonasm”?

  8. Greg Abbott says:

    King Charles looks more like Rowan Atkinson than Rebekah Brooks, to my eye.

  9. Keith Humphreys says:

    Does this mean we should be living in fear of a Restoration?

  10. Oops. I meant “tautology”. I understand “pleonasm” to be pleonastically the same thing. I must have been led astray by the appropriate associations of “moron”.

    If News Corp. implodes, what will become of its aleptic nympholepts?

    This is a total insult to Charles II!!
