Looks like MAD magazine has joined the braying packs of the Left. . . Words fail me. Sounds like time for a VERY organized boycott of all that is MAD. . . .

MAD is full of leftists, as you would imagine. But they've been attacking everything "establishment" since they were founded. They attack Hollywood every issue.

That's what they do. Make fun and ridicule everything.

I haven't seen one in years, to say nothing of having read one.

Went the way of pet rocks and wholesome cheerleaders.

I remember when MAD sporked Clinton during the early years:

"G" is for Gennifer,
Not really a floozy.

It's not that she's (something)
Just Bill's not that choozy.

When I was a young editor for a cable magazine, I interviewed Jay Leno. This was in the young days of cable television and some comics were making fun of the new medium, although many were getting their start and gaining fame because of it. One of the first questions I asked Mr. Leno was why he was so quick to poke fun at the industry that was feeding him. His reply: BECAUSE THAT'S MY JOB.

Lighten up, people. It's MAD MAGAZINE.

I wouldn't take anything Mad Magazine does too seriously.

Is there a president they haven't roasted?

They've been prescient all these years with their skewering of one presidential candidate.

Yes, it's humorous, but the extra set of "blood-stained" hands bothers me a bit.

Actually, one could just as easily consider this as a dig at the Liberal, whose specious hyperbole is illustrated on the package. I'd think this particular version of the doll would make an excellent Christmas present for the Liberal nitwits on my list! A real kick in their intellectual balls.
