Jay Leno is still plowing the worn-out ground of making fun of how dumb Bush is. (And how many college degrees do you have, Jay?)

Like all white MSM, hell most white people, the suggestion of being called a racist is sufficient to put the kabosh on any criticism eg recent dead monkey cartoon

There is nothing funny about Obama, and they know it.

It’s not that they can’t bring themselves to mock him, but anything written as satire would be too close to the truth.

And be accused of being “racist”? No thank you.

Perhaps it is because The Onion does not want to have a religious discussion — their savior vs. the Christian savior — taint their satire. That or perhaps they are suffering from mulattosocialistaphobia.

I’ve noticed the same thing with Doonsbury, which I never read, but have made a point of scanning on a near-daily basis to catch the subject matter. Nothing. Nada - and in this gaffe-rich environment that is The Obama Regime. Unbelievable.

I am not a regular reader of Mad Magazine, but the latest issue is sure to be a collector’s item. Mad has NO PROBLEM mocking Hussein. A must-read. The cover itself is a keeper.

When they announced the FR total-ban, I stopped reading them.

A day after the election they mocked him as a Nigerian Scammer who made off with $85 million in campaign funds.

I'd forgotten The Onion even existed.

I get most of my satire from ThePeoplesCube.com and Scrappleface.com anyway.

The Onion is obviously not as fearless or credible as they would like people to believe. The 0bama administration is the very definition of a target rich parody gold mine. The Onion stinks.

The One has been in office for more than a month now, and the last four Onion issues have tip-toed around anything remotely tough on the Commander-in-Chief.

I don't know about the Onion's coverage of the president (haven't been paying attention). But right after the election, the Onion News Network did a nice mock of his supporters, discussed here.

The Onion forbids Free Republic from using their material in any way!

Do they have the same policy with DUmbo, Huff'n'puff or the Daily Kooks?

That thing about Conan really worries me. It's bad enough that he grew up in a third-world country and came of age as a cog in the Chicago political machine... but his hero is Conan the Cimmerian?

Good advice; if you want to know why just go there and watch the most current video — exit FR first.
