20. Well, then you'll love this one

:rofl:

[rox63]

3. Cool!

Isn't that paper usually pretty right-wing? If so, this is a sign of progress. :D

[immoderate]

4. Benson has been there a long time. I don't think the paper is different.

5. Yup they sure are right wing!

The AZ Repugnant endorsed BUSH but has since toned down. Cartoonist Steve Benson is pretty progressive though. He sure does rile up all the right wing nut jobs in this area.

11. He and Jana Bommersbach were the only sane voices there.

And she left there - can you blame her?

I hate the Arizona Republican

9. It's a fish wrap

Steve Benson is cool, though.

6. Ha! Steve Benson, you are a breath of fresh air

in this dismal red state.

[Canuckistanian]

7. Hahahahaha, that's good

Yep, just about covers most of his hypocrisy. Well, not most, but the biggest ones!

[jkshaw]

8. Benson IS good, but

he used to follow the right wing line. He's a relative of the now deceased Ezra Taft Benson (a nephew?), who spent a short time as Prophet in the Mormon church. Ezra lived into his 90s, but became slightly addled. Benson was forthright in his uncle's mental problems and was piled on by not only his family -- a numerous one! -- but by the Mormon church people, too. He's been a progressive liberal for a couple of decades. Whether there is a cause-effect relationship there I don't know for sure, but I've always believed it to be.

10. K&R n/t

12. The Repub hired Jana B!

Wasn't she the writer from New Times?

[poverlay]

13. IDK, she was the "Queen of Clean" for quite sometime doing segments on channel 3. Then she

branched out and started doing everything. Soooo, either she is quite gifted and that has been recognized, or she knows someone in power.

14. Now you know why he's a Pulitzer Prize Winner.

[amb123]

16. He won it in 1993

I don't know what it was about tho.

Maybe they scrubbed it?
