(William) Hughes Mearns (1875-1965)
And there seems to be some question whether the last line should be 'go away' or 'stay away'.

"Hypocrisy and also mendacity and reichousness I would offer" Response to Reply #10 28. None of these qualities
square with visceral American "core values."
Imagine a couple thousand Vets, accompanied by any and/or all of the Democratic candidates, senators, congresscritters (to insure the cops don't start pushing folks around unnecessarily), everybody's got photocopies of their military records, signs, buttons and bumper stickers to pass out to spectators, all gather in the closest "free speech zone" to the TV studio where the MTP slobberfest is taped with mock coffins, whistles, bullhorns drums, chanting in unison, "Dubya, Dubya, Dubya, WHERE WERE YOU IN 72?" Oh yeah, and don't forget the sea of flags. Ya think that would pose the question LOUDLY ENOUGH?
Man-o-man, this picture engulfed my brain as I was reading today and I just keep re-posting...

5. Thanks to Michael Moore and Wesley Clark |

NO thanks to John Kerry, who said Moore's comments were over the top.

7. Yes, but it's just to distract from the illegal war and the lies that lead |

to it.
As rove would say, STICK TO PRINCIPAL.

11. And the style of the cartoon -- |
|
Isn't that in a style of a famous WWII era cartoonist (whose name I obviously can't remember)? Or am I just dreaming?

won't see this cartoon. Alas, he cancelled his newspaper when they refused to cancel Danziger (I think the July "Body-Count" one put him over the edge.

Even a simpleton can figure out that cartoon. His war record is an issue, since he sent over 500 GIs to their deaths in Iraq based on a lie.

Wickedly funny, yet seeing it pisses me off.
Thanks for posting it.

Things like this may have a more lasting impression than a TV interview that people may or may not see. Pick up the paper and there it is.
