Deja vu?

OK, someone's gotta help me here, because I could have sworn I saw... if not this exact comic, at least this basic template (re Bush/Cheney/hot tub) before.

Perhaps you did:

But it bears repeating.

I wish cartoonists that are not genuine political satirists

would stick to what they do best. Cartooning. This isn't clever or funny.

I laughed!

despite the nay-sayers...

George W. Bush goes to Hell

The Devil is showing him around, because it's up to George to choose where he will spend Eternity.

The first room has Ronald Reagan in a vat of boiling Iranian crude oil, screaming his head off, but with perfect hair, of course. George W. Bush says, "No, thanks."

The second room has none other than George's Poppy sitting in a vat of boiling Iraqi crude oil, screaming his head off. George W. says, "Keep going."

The third room has Bill Clinton sitting at a desk quite comfortably. Underneath the desk is Monica Lewinski, giving Bill a blowjob.

George W. says, "Looks good to me. I'll take it."

The Devil says, "Okay, Monica, you can leave now."

Just wondering

You know that thing about a frog in a pot of water-- if you crank up the heat gradually, you can boil him? Would it hold true for two frogs?

Keef is not a political satirist?

What? The K Chronicles is a great source of political satire! My only quibble with this strip is that Cheney should be the Devil's boss not W. Its a great strip, keep 'em coming Keef!

Up the K!

Knight has that gift that all great satirists possess, sympathy for the targets of satire.

The beauty of this cartoon is not that B & C are in Heck ... we all knew their destiny already :)

The beauty is that, having achieved their destiny and being dispatched to History for judgement ... they are happy with their lot!

Thanks, Keith.

@ Poco

Methinks if Keef drew Bill & Hillary Clinton in Beezlebub's hot tub, you WOULD think it clever and funny.

Yup: it's amazing how political cartoons are only funny to conservatives when it's not one (or two) of their own being made fun of, isn't it?

Git-R-Dun,
