GREAT CARTOON!
I'll bite your legs off!
Major points for referencing one of my favorite movies, great job Rob.
Media Bias
And so it continues, the Democratic primary is only 1/2 over, nothing is decided, and yet the media continues to push that Barack is the obvious winner of the primary. I know there is primary fatigue, but the media should be unbias and fair (obviously I must be the only one who feels they are not?)
I'll Bite Your Kneecaps Off!
Good one, Tornoe. It takes cajones to steal from Monty Python, and you pulled it off. Good job.
Excellent
This is one of his absolute best
Tis' but a scratch Obama!
Tis' but a scratch Obama!
wow
tornoe's stuff usually sucks, but this was amazing. give credit where credit is due and this was great. well done.
OK..we'll call it a draw
Good one rob.
I don't think this cartoon is fair
She DID win Pennsylvania big. Everyone expected it to be closer. And I'm leaning Obama.
Funny
The next banner cry for the Dems in NJ
against Lautenberg is " Take out your dead"
how original is this?
From the Daily Telegraph:
"But after the former First Lady's nine-point win in Pennsylvania, I'm convinced the "epic movie now on final reel", as yesterday's Chicago Tribune put it, without plumping for a particular title, is in fact Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Or, more precisely, the scene in which Arthur - the Obama character - confronts the Black Knight (Hillary), lops off his arm and declares: "Now stand aside, worthy adversary."
But the Black Knight, like Hillary, refuses to succumb, declaring "'tis but a scratch" and it's "just a flesh wound" as Arthur dismembers him. "I'm invincible!" the Black Knight, by this point just a torso, declares finally. "The Black Knight always triumphs… I'll bite your legs off!"

Remember:
It ain't over till the fat lady sings!
"A Nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one. Alexander Hamilton
HAHAHA!
"You're the King, but I didn't elect you?"
Another great question to ask the Dem party bosses across the state!
Amazing comic Rob!
Let's hear from the super delegates
Like Yogi says, "it ain't over till it is over". The best part will be when the super delegates decide who the winner will be, thus making the whole primary system moot.
"The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything."
