Controversial cartoonist calls Bush a moron... (Barf alert)

And the folks at Salon wonder why they are losing millions.

[lawgirl]

I HATE this cartoon. ANd it has nothing to do with race.

[Cicero]

Why doesn't Salon hire this guy to do their cartoons? That should improve their financial position.

What a mean-looking kid.

[lizma]

"Let's Roll" just doesn't apply to the Taliban.

"...or am I just going to quit now and hope this Hollywood stuff pans out? It's always a debate.

Can we HELP him DECIDE!!!!?????

[Numbers Guy]

You know, he's called the terrorists "evil." That's really some childish stuff. They're bad, we're good. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. That's so incredibly stupid

Heaven forbid we call people who deliberately target several thousand innocent civilians for murder "evil". That's just too judgemental. [/sarcasm]

Since Sept. 11, McGruder has been setting fire to the funny pages with incendiary panels of political humor mocking everything from Attorney General Ashcroft's anti-terrorist dragnet and the public's fear of anthrax to FBI wiretaps and the nation's ongoing orgy of patriotism.

Salon & McGruder, ESAD.

Alec Baldwin will have turned long turned gray as a citizen of the Langdouc before this phony crosses the border to live permanently in the Great White North with its confiscatory taxes and mediocre medicine.

[fini]

I'm just glad that McGruder is not a conservative. Many of his statements defy logic.

[PLMerite]

Like I give a @#!@#$ what this flit hack, no-talent "cartoonist" thinks about anything...

[mathurine]

Hip hop music; hot dogging in athletics, this cartoon, what's a mother to do?

[willyboyishere]

This is a very stupid young man. He can't draw either.

[Bogey78O]

And the sad thing is that there are a good many blacks who feel just like him.

Take one part intelligence and one part bigotry mix it in a big bowl and mix with pure ego.

[Post Toasties]

There's so much to choose from, but I'll just give this one illustration of the cartoonist's overt hypocrisy :

How dare the media just give in when the government says don't air any of Osama bin Laden's video messages!

And he is criticizing the US government for its role in supporting terrorism? No wonder he's in the funny pages. That's where he belongs.

[isthisnickcool]

Pretty funny. All over this interview the dumb kid make a great pitch for the capitalist way of doing things. "I'm in 250 newspapers". "The syndicate has not asked me to do anything different". "I make a lot of money". "I can live anywhere".

He talks about the business he is in like a pro. Then he talks about working in TV, etc.

This kid would not be interviewed by Salon (no big deal, lower share price than Enron) and be in the position he is in if not for the system he seems to hate. A system he is very much a whore for. And he is in the print and entertainment media. And he gives them a great BJ in this interview. Now, if he had any balls, he'd pen some stuff that's really cutting edge. Something to the right. Be he can't. Jokes on him.

As far as Bush being stupid. Well, from Ann Richards on he has outsmarted them all. And he is the leader of the free world today. Something this pissant cartoonist will never be.

Did anyone actually read that entire load of whatever...

I'd really like to see this guy put his money where his mouth is for once instead of farting from the cheap seats. Of course, he probably thinks Hitler is pretty cool, too.

[Post Toasties]

No. I got about two thirds of the way through before dinner began coming back for seconds.

[Jonathon Spectre]

I'm just going to start slapping, hard, in the face, anyone who dares say "The President wasn't elected" in my presence. I have officially had enough.
