...as long as he didn't abort no babies.

No, not as long as it's one rightwingnut chowing down on another. Encouraged, in fact! Them's good eatin'!

What will it take to get America back?

...the Facebook fan page entitled "Telling Dick Cheney to shut the hell up" has gained over 200,000 fans in less than two weeks.

..and chew gum at the same time?

that I'd miss Nixon. At least he confined himself to one illegal war at a time (albeit in multiple countries) while destroying our country. Actually, compared to his successors in the White House, he looks better all the time, and more honest too.

This what you get when "impeachment is off the table;" and when our elected government tells us we cannot look back, we must look ahead; and we have a sick and pampered media focused on celebrity. We are losing our soul as a nation and our legitimacy as a beacon of justice and respect for other humans. We have become such couch potato cowards, trembling at the mention of Al Queda, that we allow criminals like Cheney to go free and convince the gullible that he has saved us from a dangerous foe.

The Republicans are despicable, the Democrats are sheep and Obama is a fraud. Meanwhile we have media stars encouraging murder by individuals with mental illness. God save our country.

Which just goes to show you that when you think things can't possibly get any worse (i.e. CREEP, Watergate Break-Ins, Coverup), they usually do. Human nature is the same all over.

Because I don't care about half dead Cheney anymore.

This cartoon is insane and outlandish!

And, sadly, very accurate and minimally exaggerated.

In my opinion, Tom Tomorrow is one of the best political cartoonists there is, yet the truth of cartoons such as this one are, to me, more disturbing than funny.

With cartoons like this one, Tom Tomorrow makes statements that have to be made. I wish he had as wide an audience as Ziggy or Garfield.

I think that in years to come your work will be as admired as other great political cartoonists and social commentators, I'm thinking in particularly of Ron Cobb.

Wonderfully insightful.

Please keep doing this.

Tom, I remember you once had a cartoon that ended with a similar hyperbolic statement about torture. Back then the idea that America would torture was so absurd it was obviously a joke.

I hope to God you're not prophetic.

Hilarious, sir, as always.

Those beady eyes, that low forehead and furrowed brow, the dead hedgehog haircut..... and that enormous visible-from-satelites cranium. Amazing really that something so large can only hold a vacuum.

it would be funny if it wasn't so damn true.

Just this evening, I see on CNN that Cheney has himself admitted that there was no link between Saddam Hussein and 9-11. This coming from a man who used every lie, trick, and cherry picking of information to drive us into an enormously costly and COMPLETELY unnecessary war. We killed 1 million people...for what?

Equally disgusting is the spineless way Congress, and our apparently equally spineless new President have treated all of these revelations. Disgusting. Disgusting. Disgusting.

Sad to know that even if a high-level "elected" official shot a child on the steps of the capitol, with cameras rolling, they would be dismissed, excused and never spend ten minutes inside of a jail cell.

Apparently, in the United States, equality under the law is just a lie.

Cannibalism in defense of liberty is no vice.

Organic farming & shopping for locally grown produce in pursuit of justice is no virtue.

but a woman carrying a dead baby should have to carry it to term!

it's the american way. force suffering on those who already suffer.

is setting himself up to run for president in the next election. Brace yourselves.

The third panel with Harry Reid's (ahem) decisive leadership skills on display is a winner.

Must concur with others. Your work is top of the line. And with others, I wish there were a greater distance between the satire and the reality.

The cartoon isn't really about Darth Cheney. It's about Obama and friends. And it's spot-on.

Just keep giving him the rope and he'll hang himself eventually. Be patient, Tom, I think those war crimes trials will happen, but probably not till Obama's second term. By then, when he won't have to run for reelection again, it'll be a lot harder to condemn the prosecutions as merely partisan. And in the meantime, let Cheney just go on piling up the incriminating evidence. Don't stop him!

Quite right, jgs!

And it's gratifying, but not surprising, that Tom sees it too.

A refreshing counterpoint to Garrison Keillor's appalling "let bygones be bygones" dreck in a recent Salon piece.

We need to demand a change in leadership amongst the spineless Democrats in Congress. I am not out to demonize Pelosi and Reid, but under their stewardship we have let intimidation and obstruction deter us from what everyone obviously knows is the right course of action. Since when was accountability and justice the wrong path to pursue?

Obama isn't going to get re-elected, sorry to burst your bubble. The economy is still going to be in the crapper, due to Obama's refusal to do what's necessary with these Banks. Obama is going to get the blame, and rightly so. Even if he gets re-elected, Obama isn't going to prosecute any of these war criminals. He's already stated as much. Stop looking at Obama through rose colored glasses, and get your some prescription lenses. Obama is complete and total fraud.

Funny cartoon! And yet, on careful reading it strikes me that maybe there could be some ways in which the story line of this cartoon actually seems nearly like some things that might actually have happened. Isn't that kinda weird? It's, like, sort of similar to the way disclosures about the Bush administration's involvement in, well, what might have been "torture". If you look closely, well, wasn't Cheney rumoured to somehow be involved in that? And weren't there people in America who almost publicly took positions suggesting that maybe that should be ignored and that even laws making torture illegal should not be enforced? And if I recall correctly, weren't there even some people paid to go on TV or even elected to represent Americans, but who kind of suggested that it was worse to criticise people like Cheney for their roles in torture than it was to support enforcing laws against torture? I mean, that would be so weird. Kind of makes a cartoon like this one almost "too close to home", doesn't it? Wow, amazing how sometimes art imitates life, isn't it? Thank god it's a cartoon.
