Mad Magazine is hitting back at Pete Buttigieg after the 2020 Democratic hopeful inadvertently insulted the publication while responding to a diss from President Trump. “Who’s Pete Buttigieg? Must be a generational thing,” the magazine wrote in a tweet, directly referencing the 37-year-old South Bend, Ind. mayor’s comments about them.
The humor rag was responding to Buttigieg’s statement that, “I guess it’s just a generational thing. I didn’t get the reference,” when asked about President Trump’s first nickname for the rising Democratic star: Alfred E. Neuman.
Alfred E. Neuman has been the gap-toothed, big-eared mascot gracing the magazine’s cover for decades.Mad Magazine is hitting back at Pete Buttigieg after the 2020 Democratic hopeful inadvertently insulted the publication while responding to a diss from President Trump. “Who’s Pete Buttigieg?

I had heard he was based on a real politician. “What me, worry?” sounds like something a corrupt politician would say.
Buttigieg also sports the ‘what me worry’ policy.
Butt, he should worry.
As far as I’m concerned there will always be only ONE Pete.
Pete Potrzebie.
“MAD” are no fans of Trump. But they do take shots at a variety of targets...
He wont get out from under that.No chance in hell.
Trump should have run in 2000. Assuming he could have won the nomination (maybe not possible, I know) and assuming he could beat the algore (likely), what a different country we would have right now. Maybe would have had a President Palin in 2008, instead of a Kenyan WH.
