@JimCarrey

This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked. Monstrous!

Gov. Mike Huckabee Retweeted FOX & friends
Pathetic BULLY, sexist, hater, bigot & "Christaphobe" @jimcarrey attacks @PressSec for her faith; what would be hypocritical Hollywood reaction if he called someone a "so-called Muslim" or "so-called Jew?" #classlessCarrey




Carrey responded to Huckabee's slight in a statement issued to The Young Turks.

“I am so gratified by the reaction to my little drawings. It is the job of a political cartoon to vex those who abuse power or enable those abuses," his statement read. "This administration has been lying to the American people from day one while plundering the country and debasing our values. And those who cover for this shameful mobster of a President are putting makeup on a melanoma and telling the cancer patient that everything’s fine. Monstrous? You bet!"

they have their irony detectors disabled, they have to.

But that is why irony and satire are the best weapons against evil. The one thing they can't allow is to be laughed at.

I don’t know why Carrey is suddenly into political cartooning, but I’m enjoying it.
