Please compare the two photographs below and answer the following questions:

Which is Canadian comic Mike Myers and which is disgraced former Canadian communications director of the Prime Minister's Office Francoise Ducros?

Is this the same person?

Is this some sort of promotional stunt for the new Austin Powers movie?

I haven't seen much play given to this story about French President Jacques Chirac's choice of reading material during the NATO summit (from NRO's Corner weblog). Is it because the liberal media sympathizes with the French?

Let's have a thought experiment. Imagine if George W. Bush was reading an art magazine during the NATO summit. Would there be a story on the front page of the New York Times and the Guardian?

No.

Because such a photograph would prove that Bush could read, and the liberal media can't have that.
