Colorado Pols and Their Celebrity Look-Alikes

Some local pols look more familiar than others. penry-smiles2john-lynch-2007-pro-bowl-feb-10-081 Senate Minority Leader Josh Penry (left)  has said he's "practically twins" with former Denver Broncos safety John Lynch (right).

Tidwell's mane, however, hasn't been the subject of media speculation. Other look-alikes include state Representative Carole Murray and Steve Carell's manager in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and U.S. Senator Michael Bennet and Terry from the comic strip "Terry and the Pirates."
