I heard something so assinine on radio today that I wanted to make a cartoon, and then I realized that I don’t cartoon anymore, and then I wanted to blog about it but then I remembered that I don’t do that anymore, either. MAN. What’s a woman to do? Blog about it anyway. So here goes.
Ann Romney was being interviewed. She was talking about how Mitt was, last year, considering not running for president this year. They were having a serious talk about it as a couple, you know, weighing the pros and the cons. And then she said that she said to him, AND I QUOTE, “But Mitt, can you save America?” and he said “Yes. Yes I can.” And so it was decided. And so it shall be.
Can you IMAGINE the ego, the …hubris, the unmitigated GALL it takes for someone to think that they, and they alone can save America? That they are soooo smart and soooo wise and sooooo important that if they don’t step in, why, we’ll all just be lost. Thank goodness for Mitt. And I mean that sincerely. Thank goodness he answered that call.
I would not be surprised if during the next debate he suddenly rips open his suit and he’s wearing a superhero outfit underneath. He’ll fly away singing, “Here I come to save the day!” These people are so out of touch they might as well be from a different planet.
Be afraid, America. Be very afraid. For Mitt is coming. He’s out there. …Lurking… …And he wants to be our latex salesman.

Karen, come on–admit it–cartooning is in your blood. You are not complete without having your say–so for God,s sake, say it. Political cartoons are for you. At least think about, and your sister could do it with you. She seems pretty savvy too. Think on it.

Teehee. I’m so glad you can’t resist. And you know, you could post just one cartoon to your blog if you want to without any commitment to ever post another one.

“If you post it…. they will come.” Just remember that when you pose the question… “should I blog or not.” I would love to see you post a few single panel political cartoons. Just so you could get that “cartooning thing” out of your blood (or head or wherever it resides when you are listening to all of crap that the Right is shilling on the news, not that the Left is doing a better job either…Sorry about that I started ranting too.)
Take care.
