No one’s going to miss John Street. Every minute the ex-Mayor spent in office was detrimental to Philadelphia. He actually helped the city when he spent 15 hours waiting in line for an iPhone. Worst of all, the dude didn’t look that ridiculous. From some angles, you can make the case he looks like a black Mugatu (from Zoolander):

That’s why I’m positively giddy that Michael Nutter is our new Mayor-Elect.

Nutter doesn’t just bring honesty, intelligence, and commitment to the table. He brings a ridiculously nasal voice and a face that would scare children.

But the real question is — who does he look like? Nutter is uniquely ridiculous-looking and yet eerily familiar. I spent literally seconds staring at pictures of him, trying to invoke my muse. Finally it hit me: Richard Kind.

Ok, I admit Richard Kind isn’t exactly an A-list celebrity, nor is he bald, myopic, or African-American. I’ll keep working on it.
