This is sooooo true and I would pay to help build the memorial. How about right outside the future Dubya Presidential Library.

What is sad is that every time Dubya spouts off with a new marketing slogan, the gullible Bushbots jump up and start cheering right away. They jump and cheer even if they don’t know what the slogan means.

Yea! Compassionate Conservative Yea! What does that mean? They don’t know but it sounded like something good and Dubya said it so it must be good. Ha Ha It didn’t actually mean anything besides vote for me. Sucker!

Maybe we can just call it the sucker memorial for all the chumps that bought whatever marketing slogan Dubya dreams up.

Georgie Girl, Do you really want the whole world knowing that you stalk the luckovich blog 24/7 just waiting for an opportunity to hack in and say “Bush Sucks?”

Maybe you should spend some time with Midori’s speech instructor and see if you can learn a new phrase or two.

Well, isn’t this just so exciting?

Tell us Mikey, did all the thought you put into this masterpiece leave you exhausted?

Did you spend days, or maybe weeks, working tirelessly around the clock to chart this cutting edge direction, to turn your career on this fresh new path?

Such brilliance, such thought provoking nuance, why, you’re a pioneer, people will show this cartoon to their grandchildren.

I’ll bet they’ve already started gathering around the water coolers at work to discuss this stunning accomplishment.

It’s never a good sign when you open the conversation with George hacking into the blog so that he can harp like a seal.

But it is so typical.

Can you believe a President that has spewed this nonsense STILL has 32% of the people in this country thinking he is doing a good job?!?!?!?

I mean, it does compare to Nixon’s job approval and is very recently contrasted by the 65% job approval that Clinton enjoyed at this point in his tenure as President, but, for crying out loud, the man is a FAILURE by almost any measure ever applied to a Presidency.

Good one Lucko, give ‘em hell. Sloganeering is a prime example of the “dumbing down” of America. If a thought can’t be presented in a 10 second sound-bite, the American public no longer has the attention span to engage in its’ debate.

GWB is the most slogan dependent politician to have ever served in public office. Why should we be surprised that an “attention-deficient” public at large would elect an “attention-deficient” President?

I’m going to predict Bush’s next slogan to be delivered in his next speech: “Let’s finish the job won”!!

LETS FINISH THE JOB WON!!! everybody yell it out your window….

I predict it will be some variation of “finish the job”.

Cartoon Idea: Show ears. Only ears in a cartoon to rep w. like doonsbury’s feather for Dan Quale. I guess we blew our chance for Dan Quale as President. He doesn’t look so bad now. Neither does Mondale, or Dole, or Hoover. or McKinney.

We are so screwed, that I cant even bear to think about it anymore.

Let me give you a perfect analogy: Luckovich is the football team riding a bus to the big game. Andy and his cadre of dittoheadwounds are the short bus riders who jeer the football team as it passes by.

Why do they feel they’ve earned the right to jeer the football team as equals? Because they’re all have helmets.

That’s the basis of the common ground the GOP trolls on this blog use to criticize Luckovich.

Wow, in someone’s mind, murder rape and theft are equivelent to Buying a beer on Sunday, gay folks getting married and abortion.

Situational ethics be damned I guess, the odd thing is that it is normally the people howling for smaller govt that want to impose new laws for others to abide by.

I guess I am a bit of a libertarian, if there is no victim, than it is not a crime. No one is hurt by gay marriage, or buying a beer on Sunday. Abortion is a different issue of course, but it is still a part of the mother

9-11 was Bush treason: See for yourself…

http://www.youtube.com/viewplaylist?p=2AFEEBF0C352AA2C is a good start, plus, for absolute moral certainty by a Professor of Logic: “The New Pearl Harbor.”

Why allow stupid, corrupt, and evil people to mess up America?

Bush’s grandfather was Hitler’s banker. His father “can’t recall” his whereabouts upon hearing of JFK’s assassination, six weeks after NSAM 263 pulled us out of Rome’s Vietnam…and the Vatican banker’s Fed, JFK removed from its unconstitutional control of the U.S.’s money supply (Exec. Order 11,100), was immediately put back in charge.

Who really wants a draft-dodging closet-queen (Jeff Gannon), cheated into the White House, to be exempt from the punishment for treason he so richly deserves? Will Roman Catholic, Mafia-connected, pschotropic druggie Nancy D’Allesandro Pelosi get the job done?

Afghanistan’s heroin trade is booming under Bush and he wanted to give eight of our ports to Dubai: the largest transhipment point for Afghan heroin in the world?

Wake Up.

Bushes have been Rockefeller-lieutenants since Standard Oil was built on “murder and arson” in 1870’s Cleveland. Rockefeller is the Vatican’s correspondent bank and Rome wants us to be flooded with Roman Catholic illegals.

Gee…wonder why things are so screwed-up?

That cartoon is just so true.

Excellent!! Spot on!!!

Great one, Mike.

Bush is nothing more than a walking, talking catch phrase. A big, fat, empty suit.

The guy is constantly in campaign mode. He has absolutely NO idea how to govern.

Is that original enough for you, Dusty? That is, speaking for the “few of us who continue to hang on here”. Seems you’re quite determined as well. Even tho no one wants to hear your cheer leading and enabling of that incompetent boob who occupies the WH.

and Shawny with his keeping Andy’s idiotic habit alive of posting a right wing hack “cartoon that doesn’t suck”. Shawny: if Mikes toons “suck” so much in your view, why come here? Just to post those silly toons? Are you trying to one-up Mike on his very own blog? I fail to see the madness behind your method. What, exactly, is the point? I’ve asked several times, but have never received a reply from you.

and someone needs to school the moron at 8:45 what hacking means. How the h*ll do you hack into something that’s already open? You Bush bots are so bloody stupid. So very, very stupid. Do you all walk into walls? Does that account for your brain damage?

M, Who made you the sheriff? Is the moon in the wrong phase for you currently? Got a right-wing itch you just can’t scratch so you have to lay into anyone that bugs you in the least?

Not that it is any of your beeswax, but I come here because I enjoy approx. 35% of Mikey’s toons. I also enjoy the dialog being tossed around. Even the diatribes I don’t agree with…it is interesting to gather differing points of view.

Of all of Andy’s postings, the daily toon that doesn’t suck was the only link I was remotely interested in clicking on.

I only feel obligated to offer a toon that doesn’t suck when the toon here does suck, like today, with the same old, same old……just consider it a community service, free of charge, from me to you.

You may feel obligated not to click on it. Freedom of choice is a beautiful thing, don’t you think?

Shawny,

I don’t consider myself as a “sheriff”. I can’t see how I am trying to enforce anything. I’m just curious as to your lunacy.

again, if Mike’s toons “suck” and “offend” you (as they so obviously do), why even bother? I dont’ get it.

I sure don’t visit blogs that are not to my liking. Maybe my logic is faulty here, but still.

Mike has several Pulitzers to his credit. Is the same true for the hacks whose toons you post here as “toons that don’t suck”?

I really enjoyed that Repug over at Jim’s today who said that you were an embarrassment to Republicans everywhere. And your only comeback was to say that you hadn’t mentioned the word “Republican” today. Were you trying to deny that you’re a repug? We’ve all known for years that you’re an embarrassment, but it was thoroughly amusing to see someone from your own party say it and try to disassociate himself from you. Your numbers are shrinking.

Yes, I did get a kick out of it; your ideas are even too silly for the mindless fools in your own party. You may have to explain how “one voice” is any more childish than rw-(the original). The majority part of the name had more weight when Democrats were out of power and the majority of Americans opposed bush. Now that we’re in power I don’t need it any more. I’ve also been rereading Thoreau’s Resistance to Civil Government and agreed with him that while the majority is always strongest, it’s not always right. An example of this is how the majority of Americans believe in your fictitious god. Just because they believe it will never make it the truth. Merry Christmas.

Just when I thought it couldn’t possibly get any worse, it did.

I’ll have to remember not to set my sights so high in the future.

Onto this vast empty, pointless blog we have been blessed with a new ruler, a self appointed empress, the Supreme Scold, may I present to you Queen Midori, the One who shall lead us from sanity and into the shadowy depths of her kingdom, madness.

Sadly, it got even more cheesy then that.

Yep, the bottom was scraped by the blog’s wannabe Dan Rather, the flaming idiot taking the ordinary news clips and “faking the memo” so that the blame fell on Republicans. Is it even possible that there can be two people stupid enough to believe that trick would work, what are the odds? And how did we get to be so lucky by having the second one plant itself firmly up Mike Luckovich’s a$$?

(P.S. to Danny Boy: Your fever swamp narratives are a sure give away that you are a slobbering partisan hack, a democrat party harpie. You got some serious fine tuning to do.)

And you should try doing a little research. If you don’t want higher crime rates maybe we should deport all illegal immigrants, increase surveillance of high crime areas, toughen sentencing laws and stop releasing criminals from jail.

Is this what you’re looking for, moron, or have you even thought it through that far?

Perhaps I complain to much, what more should I expect from a political party full of dolts and retards but for them to be wallowing in ignorance?

They do seem happy.

The walls are carved with various of FDR’s inspirational thoughts.
