Excellent toon ML! To the wingnut Mike: Yes Mikey knows how to draw Democrats. He did it all the time when one occupied the White House. Now a Republican occupies the White House. The difference is that the Republican is providing so much more material.

The Bush family takes the cake: years of degeneration typical of the WASPS. From Prescott Bush, a man of parts, to Dubya, a dunce — in only half a century!
Of course Barbara Bush, that b***, also had something to do with it. I suspect Dubya inherited mostly from her: her short hooked nose, her scowl, her tongue, and her deficient gray matter.

Yes, Mrs. G, the air is fresher here now that most of the unemployable, narrow-minded, GOP sheep have followed their illustrious shepherd over to the Wooten blog.
One or two will pop over for a guerrilla hit at times, but then ‘cut and run’ back over to fantasy land where they stand less chance of being annihilated with logic.

Iraq is our 51st state. We can never, ever leave it any more than we can leave Iowa.
We are trapped. Think about it. There’s no exit possible, and there never was.
You see, we committed a violation of the laws of “might rules right”. Like the genocide in africa: that’s the way things are. We kill. We rule by killing. We used a third party, Saddam Hussein, to enforce the “might rules right” in Iraq for generations.
Then we broke the rule. We took Saddam out. Now, we’ve unleashed the once-squelched enmity of the ages, (securely contained in Pandora’s Box): a multi-dimensional oil spill of genocidal vendettas.
We cant leave and allow the genocide. We cant stay and watch the genocide.
We are trapped forever. The exit door was shut behind us as we waded into this.
Iraqia: the 51st state in a genocide hell.
Tell me there’s a way out. Show me any progression of logic that would expose a viable exit strategy. There’s none. We are there forever.
We leave: Regional war which will engulf and destroy us.
We stay: We get consumed by the hatred and destroy ourselves.
We are slowly sinking into oblivion in the middle east, with no possible way to get out.
That’s why the Iraqi Study Group is obsolete and naive. (just more W spin)

Just another example of neolibs not accepting differences of opinion or interpretation - it’s all right/all wrong or all black/all white. If you have an opposite opinion, they launch personal attacks. When they can’t formulate a response based upon examining an idea, or when they “feel” they’ve lost the argument, we see hostile namecalling as exemplified by candide’s post.
Neocons/neolibs - two sides of the same coin. But neolibs make it personal.

Sidelight on the border crossers - a friend of mine meets other guys Sat mornnings for breakfast at a local cafe. The talk turned to illegals - not very kind characterizations. My friend said he was disturbed one morning by an illegal standing in his driveway yelling four-letter words at his house. When he opened the door he heard the guy yelling “work, work, work?”
I’ve never encountered an illegal begging for money.
Then again, a recent Congressional Accountability Office report estimates about a fourth of inmates are illegals. So there you are -

Luckovich is really hallucinating today. He not only insults the president, but the president’s mother amd father(a former president), and another man who has faithfully served this country.
Insulting those who serve is not the way to promote your opinion or your policy. Do you listen to those who insult your parents? Or do you even care?
The absolute grossness of some liberals such as Luckovich is a disgrace to all Americans. They make the whole country look like sweet takings for terrorists.
Americans who don’t even have the decency to discuss issues instead of personal vendettas are ruining the great concept of freedom in this country.
I have no use for insulting egomaniacs who draw and blog and curse the very principles and people of our government. You are a blight on every citizen, including yourself.
As Lady McBeth said “Out damn spot!”. I’m with her. Go away, those who despise this country and show it by hating those who serve to keep it free. You are the black spot on the hand of liberty.

I want to expose a communications glich between Paul and Cindy. Paul said that Neolibs make debate personal and use invectives. Cindy then said that Neocons use invectives, and it almost made her geschtoppen der bloggenheimer.
But the Paul said that he didn’t mean to use invectives when he pointed out that neolibs use invectives, even though Cindy had not accused him of that, but instead accused neocons in general of using name calling tactics.
So that nuance of meaning is why the discussion on a blog never gets advanced.
we dont communicate. We simply wait for our turn to blog something pointless and stupid. Like suggesting that we mail a million fruit cakes to the white house for xmas. or trick thousands of jehovah’s witnesses into passing out literature at Camp David.

If I may give you a correct answer. (Getalife can’t cut it!)
Wingnuts are what liberals call the people who can still think straight. Few “wingnuts” post at ml’s because of their delicate sense of smell and their adversion to repetitious insults and dull jokes.
Jim Wooten is a conservative editor at the AJC (There is still ONE!!) He has a sensible blog which has little attraction to liberals. When faced with reality and loyalty, they run away leaving their raunchy comments behind.

Great cartoon today Mike. Reality is many things.
Reality in Iraq is that we should just leave today, why do we care who gets killed and all wars turn out to be unnecessary anyway.
Reality at home is that nobody should receive less money than it takes to live comfortably and work should only be something done to fulfill your life. Since work is only to fulfill your life, anything over $100,000. per year should be given to the government to distribute to those that don’t feel the need.
Reality in global politics is that Cuba and Venezuela should be the models for our future as they are the only sustainable structures for lasting peace.

Have you seen the review of the Syracuse professor’s book - related to an earlier discussion here - of how people who attend church (identified by some here as Dark Ages Conservatives) are more generous with their charitable giving than non-churchgoers (identified by some here as Enlightened Realists)?
Or, as was posited before: liberals are generous with other people’s money, conservatives with their own.

if that were true, Bush’s tax cuts would benefit everyone - not just the mega rich.
also, the severe cuts to programs for the needy and others (soldiers in Iraq needing body armor) in order to accommodate such tax cuts for the mega rich wouldn’t have taken place.
maybe conservatives are “generous” with their own money because they got it from screwing over everyone else?

Mike,
One of your best in a while. This strikes satirically at the heart of the matter: we have a President who shuns reality being supported by those who refuse to acknowledge reality. It’s rather like modern theater of the absurd, except that people’s lives are at stake. Cynicism would say that Bush started Bush’s War as a ploy to get reelected because there is insufficient reason, other than the oil to invade a foreign country. The premises were specious at best when Bush determined that he was going to overthrow the sovereign head of another country, and once that had been achieved, there has been no true goal in a war that is costing We the People more than we want to pay in lives and money. While Bush reduced taxes, he has sponsored the most costly War in history. That sounds like a leader with no grasp of reality.
He has dismissed Colin Powell for objecting to Bush’s War; in retrospect, it would appear that he has dismissed Donald Rumsfeld for opposing the objectives (or lack thereof) of Bush’s War. I don’t think there’s any reasonable hope that we’ll see modifications in plans after the Iraq Study Group report is released. The United States is the most despised nation on earth. It will take years of careful diplomacy to overcome the damage he’s done to the world-wide reputation of our nation. Reality? He hardly knew you.
His record on human rights resembles that of third world dictator. Sating the demands of an overweening ego has been more important to this man than the needs of We the People. Bush has so little grasp on reality that he vetoed stem cell research. He has developed a fantasy plan for dealing with Social Security, and the Medicare Drug plan is so complex that it fails the test of reality; He plans, it is rumored, to cast aside all concern for the environment and drill in ”Alaska’s Bristol Bay, home to endangered whales and sea lions and the world’s largest sockeye salmon run.” He has failed to support raising the minimum wage. Then there’s his xenophobia. He has in typical Texan fashion supported raising the “biggest fence in the whole goldarned world,“ or words to that effect, and to what end? He has supported what may be the biggest blow to diversity since 1954 delivered his toadies on the Supreme Court. He is spending obscene amounts of money to persuade teen-agers to abstain from sex instead of teaching them the realities of sex.

The Republican Congress under him has been the most corrupt in history. The gap between poor and rich gets bigger and bigger; the middle class is disappearing, in part, because jobs are being outsourced. His supporters, while their real income is declining, while their sons and husbands are being killed to support his mania, while their parents need assurance of Social Security, while they need stem cell research to deal with major medical issues, continue to support him slavishly.
He has no sense of reality, no knowledge of science (did I mention his denial of evolution and his support for teaching Intelligent Design, or whatever the current deception is?), at best a tenuous grasp on economics, no skill at diplomacy, and his supporters are just as blind, although the last election might indicate that large numbers are being to see that he has no grasp of reality.

Paul (1114),
I found the conclusions of that study surprising but only in the abstract. The churches are organized; they do take charity seriously (which I’m glad to know) and the results are positive. The philosopher, Jesus, stated “do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” and “treat thy neighbor as thyself.” Valid philosophy, no matter the context. It is gratifying to know that the churches use their organizational structures to promote “do unto others.” Do I want to see charity totally privatized? Absolutely not.

As irritating as O’Reilly can be, one of his interviewing styles not shared by many is to have a guest (either spectrum) and have as a lead-in question a challenge to the guest’s position. Forces a clarification and support of the issue from the start.

Thanks for that thought. I don’t know many who trumpet their giving for all to hear. That illustrated the point Pres Bush made - European countries view “giving” as giving by governments - Pres Bush wanted to include private giving, much of which goes to the same causes (medical care and education in Third World, etc.).
On a related note, I am regularly amazed at those who attack tax cuts, yet, if they are beneficiaries continue to pay only the minimum tax their accountants can determine. Does not “fairness and justice” mean they’d pay income tax based upon what they thought was right, using their accountants’ number as a starting point?

This says everything you need to know about George Bush. He was warned in advance to be sensitive when talking to Jim Webb about his son. Webb’s son recently had a very close call in Iraq. Instead, the President was just a dick. No surprise. That is how he runs the country.
Via ThinkProgress: “But according to Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA), Bush was told that Webb’s son had a recent brush with death in Iraq and was warned to be “extra sensitive” when talking to the Sen.-elect.
Not only did Bush know about it, he was specifically briefed on the incident before meeting with Webb, and was cautioned to be extra sensitive in speaking with Webb about his son.
After such a briefing, Bush perhaps shouldn’t have been so surprised about Webb’s unwillingness to chit-chat about his son.”
The wingnuts have been apoplectic about Webb’s interchange with Bush. Of course, as usual, none of them hold Bush accountable.
Eleanor Clift from Newsweek offered what Webb might have said:
“Webb could have asked how the Bush girls are doing, partying their way across Argentina. He could have told Bush he was worried about his son; the vehicle next to him was blown up recently, killing three Marines. Given the contrast between their respective offspring, Webb showed restraint.”
Bush is leading us to defeat in Iraq. He’s making our country weak in the eyes of the world. He hasn’t caught the terrorists who attacked America. But, the right wing is offended that Webb was mean to Bush. They’re a pathetic bunch — and it’s not their kids who are over there fighting in Bush’s war.

Words he’s never spoken in his life before, and words that he didn’t know were applicable to Iraq: words like, “Ideology”, and “Sectarian”.
That ignoramus didn’t even know there was a sunni/shia difference of Islam.

Funny how the neocons here still support “staying the course” when w and rummy have given it up.
I’ll be the first to admit I didn’t have the answers to that quagmire, but w’s course was so obviously the wrong one and none of the neocons here could offer anything better than “supporting the president”. If the ‘06 house cleaning election proves to have produced nothing more, it has gotten rid of Rummy and started dialog and brainstorming on alternative action in Iraq.

Redistribution of wealth for those making over $100k is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. All economies based on this communism eventually fail, unless there is something to prop it up (aka Venezuelan oil money). If there is no reason for anyone to work hard so that they can obtain more money, knowing that it will be taken away, then they won’t.
There is nothing wrong with disliking Bush. He has been deserving in many ways of the onslaught of caricatures. Matter of fact, for a mega-liberal toonist like Mikey, this is actually one of his better Bush slams.

James H. Webb’s (Senator-elect Jim Webb) novel, Fields of Fire is the best novel about the War in Vietnam that I’ve read. The Emperor’s General, while not the best WWII novel available, is certainly worth reading for its view of MacArthur. Lost Soldiers is set in Vietnam, years later. An interesting perspective, well worth reading. I recommend them all to you. He sure does set George Will off, which is not all bad.

Bush has made it clear what his intentions are in Iraq, and the Iraqi government has echoed his sentiments.
At this juncture, we have limited options and it’s time for this country to suck it up, offer constructive review of the situation, and get the job done.
On the Webb response to President Bush. I think that Mr. Webb could have just as easily replied that his boy was doing well but his Dad was eager for him to return home. That would have been a more civil response to a question of concern.

Re: who is more generous…..
“…This may be a variant on what Carl Sagan used to refer to this as the “brick in the toilet” question. He talked about one category of people, who think that environmental problems should be solved by voluntary changes in individual behavior. Others, he said, think that many such problems require a level of coordination that can only be accomplished through the state. He used water conservation as his hypothetical. People in the former group might put a brick in their toilet to save water with each flush but oppose centralized regulation aimed at ensuring broad-based compliance with water conservation efforts. (These are your religious conservatives, if you will, who will give money to private charities but oppose state intervention in the service of social justice.) On the other hand, people in the latter group, who favor state intervention to compel water conservation but are skeptical of the effectiveness of voluntary action in this regard, might support (or vote for) state regulation of water consumption but, in its absence, might not bother to put the brick in their toilet because they view the action as pointless without the broader coordination offered by state action. (These are your secular liberals who favor redistributive policies, even to their own financial disadvantage, but who, according to the book, are marginally stingier with their donations to charity.) Whether this story supports saying that people who put bricks in their toilets are the “true” environmentalists (or religious conservatives are the truly generous) and the people who do not but who vote for environmental interests are hypocrites strikes me as unanswerable apart from one’s views about the substantive merits of the beliefs underlying their decisions.”

Well,
I hope the people of Virginia now realize what they have sent to Congress in the form of(D) Sen.elect Jim Webb. As George Will put it quite succinctly, “Webb is a boor.”
As is well known now and reported by those attending a reception, Webb did not want to shake hands with the president in a receiving line and then was overwhelmingly rude when the president asked him a civil question about his son in Iraq. After the president tried to quietly get an answer about the son, Webb replied “That is between me and my son.”
Since we have a volunteer army in Iraq, Webb’s son must have chosen the military himself. How much good is Webb doing to insult the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces like he was a homeless vagrant on the street? None what so ever. It simply shows the inadequacy of this man Webb to make any decisions concerning the policies of this country or even possess common politeness. He undoubtably disgraced his son also.

Webb was just speaking his mind and not afraid to stand up to and speak his mind against another man, no matter his “rank”. Semper Fidelus.

Their reporting may be a little skewed. No? Since I wasn’t standing in front of Bush, and no cameras caught the smirk I’ll stick with my original assessment if that’s O.K.
If there was some kind of warning, Bush may have felt the need to forego it and ask anyway out of legitimate concern or as an ice-breaker to a newly elected representative.
Webbs point could have been made after a civil reply to a question. Something like — My son had a close call recently, but he’s doing O.K. I sure would like him out of Iraq.
It’s really pretty simple when applied a real life scenario. Politics doesn’t have to be nasty.
