More from Clay Bennett.  This one is from Feb. 16, 2010, but its message is timeless…

It reminded me of this, far less appropriate, drawing…

Keith’s Nov. 15 Special Comment responding to Ted Koppel’s WaPo opinion piece:  Olbermann, O’Reilly and the death of real news.

… I cannot prove it, so I’ll estimate it here and if I’m proved wrong I’ll happily correct it: but my intuition tells me I criticized President Obama more **in the last week** than Fox’s prime-time hosts criticized President Bush in eight years.

To equate this network with Fox, as Mr. Koppel did to accuse us of having our own facts is another manifestation of a dangerously simplified understanding of modern news. This guy says the moon is a planetary fragment orbiting the Earth; this other guy says it’s actually the body of the late Vince Foster have them both on and let them debate. It’s fair and balanced.

This clip from The Onion is from November 2009.  If someone had told me then that the GOP would have made the gains that they did in the 2010 midterms, I would not have believed them.

Actually, Republicans should consider Zombie Reagan for their leadership.  If I learned anything from the 2010 midterm results, it would be that the only demonstrably functioning appendage of the GOP is its propaganda/fundraising wing.  Whether or not they’ll be able to actually govern remains in serious doubt.

From the looks of their freshman class, the famed Republican unity-of-message, lockstep discipline is a thing of the past.  Their leadership is in for a frustrating experience, akin to what the Democrats dealt with during the last Congress (noteworthy exceptions being the complete lack of empathy, and despite the inherent contradiction, a lot more Jesus).

Zombie Reagan?  They could do worse.

Zombie Reagan Raised From Grave To Lead GOP

I saw this in my Chicago Tribune this morning and felt compelled to share.  This appropriate treatment of George W. Bush’s memoir is from Clay Bennett, editorial cartoonist for the Chattanooga Times Free Press.  More after the jump…

Once I tracked down the above, I was happy to discover it wasn’t Bennett’s only effort on the subject:

And that’s not all I found.  Bennett’s take on the 2010 midterm results is spot on.  He also has, not one, but at least two, absolutely brilliant tea party drawings.
