In fact, Epstein, 61, has maintained many of these relationships even after pleading guilty in 2008 to a felony charge stemming from a lengthy probe of his lewd interaction with scores of underage girls, many of whom were recruited while they were students at a Palm Beach high school.

Epstein is pictured above in his most recent sex offender registry photo.

But while Prince Andrew and other public figures resumed meeting with a post-prison Epstein, Clinton appears to have avoided the billionaire, who owns a private Caribbean island, a Manhattan mansion, a New Mexico ranch, and a Paris apartment in addition to his waterfront Palm Beach residence.

According to court records, Clinton “frequently flew” with Epstein aboard the investor’s private jet from 2002 to 2005, the year news of the police investigation of Epstein was first reported.

See if I draw this, it seems benign, almost corny:


If I draw this, in contrast, it seems extremely “risky,” “offensive,” and “provocative:”

Can someone tell me exactly what the media is not doing that McCoy wishes they were? Just nonstop Mohammed caricatures on every front page, or what?

Most of the media is still afraid to acknowledge that we are at war or who the enemy is. A united front in favor of free speech would have provided these brave cartoonists some needed protection but unfortunately the P.C. press doesn't wish to offend those who deal out censorship with bullets bombs and beheadings.

The future must not belong to those who target Coptic Christians in Egypt -- it must be claimed by those in Tahrir Square who chanted, "Muslims, Christians, we are one." The future must not belong to those who bully women -- it must be shaped by girls who go to school, and those who stand for a world where our daughters can live their dreams just like our sons. (Applause.)

The future must not belong to those corrupt few who steal a country’s resources -- it must be won by the students and entrepreneurs, the workers and business owners who seek a broader prosperity for all people. Those are the women and men that America stands with; theirs is the vision we will support.

The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. But to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see in the images of Jesus Christ that are desecrated, or churches that are destroyed, or the Holocaust that is denied. (Applause.)

Bruce Rauner is being a petulant dick to media, which means I'm sure we'll get a fawning tribute from Eric Allie soon enough. It'll at least be less obnoxious than his recent "Al Sharpton is the cause of all violence" dumbass streak.

Art Spiegelman did an interview regarding the shooting

There's a video of the interview, along with the first part. Covers a few topics.

“even the most ruthless satirists have their sacred cows” http://t.co/u3tadD290r With all due respect, gently caress off, @SaladinAhmed. I don’t.

I know it’s not all about me, but it’d be nice to get “credit” for the chances I took and the price I paid for political satire after 9/11.

1. This past week’s events reminds me of being interviewed for a job as a cartoonist at the Asbury Park Press in New Jersey.

2. The editorial page editor had been trying me out as a freelancer for months. Finally the editor was considering hiring me on staff.

3. The interview went very well. Finally, he said, “I have just one last question:”

4. “Will I ever look outside my window and see people protesting a cartoon that you drew?” I was caught by surprise.

5. I answered truthfully: “I don’t know. Maybe. Not intentionally, but it’s certainly possible.” He replied: “wrong answer.”

6. Naturally I didn’t get the job. Eventually they hired someone else. Perhaps he answered the question correctly.

7. Shortly thereafter, this was in the 1990s, the newspaper in Harrisburg Pennsylvania flew me out to be interviewed for a cartoonist job.

8. There weren’t any questions like that, but close. They decided to add another sports writer instead of hiring a cartoonist.

9. I was considered for a job in St. Louis, but the editorial page editor said that her readers didn’t want to be challenged or offended.

10. Then there was the Sacramento Bee. They flew me out, but the editor there said that the decision came down to a choice:

11. Did they want to rattle “the good burghers of Sacramento,” or give them something fun to read over breakfast? They chose the latter.

12. Every political cartoonist has stories like this. Cowardice is the dominant personality trait in the press in the United States.

Who did that really bad cartoon with the hippies smoking the bong wrong? I can't remember and it isn't in the OP for some reason.

Watch Rall misinterpret them completely. I bet he's just going to draw a cartoon to be offensive for offensiveness sake.

Tomorrow's cartoon about #CharlieHebdo is as outrageous as they are, methinks. http://ow.ly/i/8gdSD

Kinda weird to have stuff like 'meh cartoons' and 'my brave brave doodles' and all in a cartoon supporting them.
