From one old white man to another: this cartoon isn't funny (unless you're a Republican). You see, it makes fun of his appearance, which you would bellow about to the heavens -- and have previously, I suspect -- if someone drew a cartoon mocking Hillary's physical appearance.
All cartoons take liberties with a politicians appearance. This cartoon is not making fun of that. It's making fun of us liberals calling the GOP the party of "old white men" -- and we need to be able to laugh at ourselves.
Ted, the problem is, as I said on P's latest blog post, is that, before the latest incarnation of Candidate Clinton, you have Senator Clinton, then before that First Lady Clinton, then before that, Arkansas First Lady Clinton. She has a voting record as Senator, and we know who wore the pants in the family otherwise, especially back in Arkansas and on things like Ricky Rector.
ANONYMOUS COMMENTS WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED. And neither will racist,homophobic, or misogynistic comments. I do not mind if you disagree, but make your case in a decent manner.
So no more Bernie-ism graphics going forward?

ReplyDeleteAs soon as you post that Photoshop of the chicken store offering the Hillary special, I'll give you that hall pass.

These aren't funny in any context, and I laugh at myself every. single. day.
I have never posted a photoshop concerning Bernie either. I don't like photoshops. I do like cartoons and just consider them satire.
Deletepdiddy is a little snarky..
