Father Guido Sarducci and Antonia Novello



RELATED!

I did not know that. Wikipedia notes that Pataki's health commissioner and former U.S. Surgeon General Antonia Novello is the sister-in-law of Don Novello, the comic actor who played Father Guido Sarducci on Saturday Night Live.

Maybe Novello's new $13,000 taxpayer-funded portrait will highlight the resemblance.

The Daily News reports it's up to $15,000 now...must be them damned union painters...

By the way, couldn't they have just found an old Hanna-Barbera cel and pasted a wig on Barney Rubble? Bet that would have cost about five grand...
