Political Cartoon Idea

Obama stands behind a podium holding a selfie stick

Oldtimey News Reporter 1: 'is he taking a selfie?'

Oldtimey News Reporter 2: 'no, teleprompter phone.'

THE GUN IS GOOD, THE PENIS IS EVIL! A Zardoz cartoon.

Seriously, the only way that cartoon could be any better would be if the sniper's shirt read "I <3 America, Israel, apple pie and ice cream, PTSD and killing Muslims."

1
First, Obama said Al-Qaeda is on the run, not ISIS and that was around four years ago.

2
Democrats are sensitive to the pain of others.

It's like they don't even get the concept of self-deprecating jokes. "Oh, he's making fun of himself with a selfie stick? Well, I'll show him by...making fun of him with a selfie stick." They're basically stealing the joke from the person they want to joke about.

When Obama releases press photos of him screwing around with pointless new technology it defiles the dignity of the presidency.

When George W. Bush jokes on stage about looking for WMDs under his couch and bed he's just demonstrating that he'd be a fun guy to have a beer with.

Uhh...MSNBC has covered this story from all angels on multiple shows. They've talked to the father, siblings and friends of the victims, the mayor of Chapel Hill, a graphic artist who did a tribute to them etc. is an average of three on air segments a day not enough for Latuff? Should it just be wall to wall 24/7 until he's convicted?

I too am shocked that a political cartoonist's claim that the media is not covering a major event might not stand up to close inspection :monocle:

That was legit hilarious though because Americans were getting crippled or killed abroad over those imaginary WMD's during the sketch.
