I was living in Austin at the time Anne Richards was governor

For the life of me I can't remember her doing anything much more memorable than making the clever comment: "poor George Bush, he was born with a silver foot in his mouth." True enough, but Richards isn't really remembered for much more than that, besides her battle with the bottle. This ad sounds like a real non-happener. Funny how people outside of Texas seem to think Richards was some kind of legend. To most of us she was the woman who beat Clayton Williams for the governor's office, and nobody but the crudest redneck could have voted for Williams. I voted for Richards because she was really the only alternative.

Who Knows?

Maybe Clinton can claim the endorcements of Sam Houston, Stephen F. Austin, L.B.J. too!

Friday, February 29, 2008 12:27 PM

Spinin' for a winin'

I always thought the Clinton campaign was fueled by bullshit, this only prooves it.

Friday, February 29, 2008 12:35 PM

Tis the season for fear to beat reason

You're right Hillary, who needs hope?

I'd of used the Bat signal instead

Usually in cases of emergency the phone lines are down.

Hey Number Six, you ain't playin' no tricks...

Hillary wants four long years to play on our fears. Been there, done that.

Friday, February 29, 2008 04:50 PM

Four more years of unbalanced fears!

Lead us into the light oh Fearless Leader!

Friday, February 29, 2008 04:55 PM

Hmmmm

Mark Penn must be off his meds.

Friday, February 29, 2008 06:29 PM

Oh yeah, what's the guy gonna do leave the poor bastards stranded with nothing but bubble gum and sling shots to defend themselves with?

Katetex, I quite agree...

YOUR arrogance IS quite astounding.

Saturday, March 1, 2008 12:13 PM

Danger Will Robinson! Danger!

Hillary inevitability in trouble!!

Saturday, March 1, 2008 03:45 PM

The only thing cheap..

..is Hillary's crumbling credibility.

Saturday, March 1, 2008 03:55 PM

It's three in the morning...out comes the warning!

The MARTIANS they're HERE, so PUMP UP the FEAR!!

Saturday, March 1, 2008 04:19 PM

I haven't hears anything about the war adventures of Obama's grandfater

But it does indeed seem like your grabbing at crumbling "biscuits," or straws, whichever way you people across the Atlantic like to put it, will all in reality come down to how the proverbial cookie crumbles next week, which isn't boding terribly well for Hillary this coming Tuesday. The bredth of your knowedge about WWII is impressive, but I shan't be one to go over the crumbs of history, but shall instead look forward to tomorrow, and life's great, great mystery. Hope you go off to sleep just as smug as a bug in a rug. Cheerio!

Saturday, March 1, 2008 04:28 PM

Oh, s'cuse me!

The word is "heard."

Saturday, March 1, 2008 06:09 PM

maureen, you may not LIKE smugness...

...but smug is what you ARE.

nighty nighty granny.

NEWS FLASH: CHICAGO!

Geraldo Rivera unearths Barack Obama's dirty laundry in Al Capone's safe!

Celebrity endorcements are important!

Now if Hillary could just get Britney Spears to back her she'd have the whole race cinched.

Saturday, March 1, 2008 10:57 PM

Suggestion:

Maybe Hillary get get her second banana spouse Bill to be SNL's special musical guest! There's no music quite like somebody strangling a saxophone on stage.

My advice doc,

Stay with a candidate you can trust. Adlai Stevenson in 2008! Good luck doc, the modern world beackons me back.

Saturday, March 1, 2008 11:11 PM

Well Thanky doc!

I aims ta pleeze.

There you go!

I'll stay with Obama, seeing as he's alive and walking above ground. Cheers! Go Adlai!

Barack Obama's ties to Al Capone can finally be revealed! We've got the real yuck on the best muck! Hot, Sensational, it'll make you positively perspirational!

How's our irascible 'ol irish lady sleep last night?

smug as a bug in a rug I trust? Thanks for clearing up the true accuracy of the Obama quote. Man, Maureen's just a font of juicey jive shit!

Sunday, March 2, 2008 06:33 AM

Clinton is a clutz

She has all the able grace and composure of a neorotic chihuahua.

Sunday, March 2, 2008 07:22 AM

I may add filth..

But I don't add filthy lies. Still reliving World War II I see. Get with it girl! You're so 20th century!

Sunday, March 2, 2008 07:28 AM

By the way,

I love how you rave like a rabid animal. It's very becoming, and doesn't make you seem the least bit unhinged.

Katex probably lives in some parallel universe,

Either that or she's completely psychotic.

Original article: Hillary at twilight

Bizarre?

What gets me as bizarre is how anybody could want a pants suit clad war hawk to be their fist woman president. Today Iraq, tommorow Iran! What furthers boggles the brain as completely insane, is the fact that anybody would want a Clinton Mach III dynasty, with Bill as co-president, while I guess Chelsea will be groomed for the succesion to the throne. Yeah, that's the kind of injection of new blood and perspective that gets me all excited going to polls. Man Doc, I'd vote for Adlai Stevenson too if I was you. Given a choice between Clinton and the dead guy, the dead guy gets my vote every time.

Thats, alright doc,

Hillary's brand name?

Just more of the same. See ya in San Antonio, go Obama!

Hilarious trip to Tommorow

Tom, you nailed it. There's gonna be some of the flimsiest fear mongering ever dreamed of for Obama to field if he makes it to the general. You make it funny here, but it'll be a more serious matter when things come down to the mat, and I thing Obama is evry bit up to these idiots and their CGI generated "sinister saracens amongst us" smear campaigns. They can try to make him Obama of Arabia, but it still stands to that he's really just Obama of Illinois. They're really gonna have to pull out the special special effects. Thanks, great 'toon.

Double O Bama

Some cheaply try to sell him as the Manchurian candidate, but my man Obama is like an indestructable black James Bond, and I believe that he can prevail and win the day to steer, our whole country away from Hillary's brittle web of fear. Go Double O!

Face up to your responsibilities to Frau Hillary like a man!

Lapel pin patriotism..

..is put on patriotism.

Monday, March 3, 2008 12:16 PM

"Well, that happened"

And what a non-happener it was. The Hillary hype has gone down the pipe.

Original article: Brand-aid

With Hillary you get a brand name that's been around..

But is it a name you can trust? Uh-uh, I don't think so. We've already been to Baghdad because of her and other war wankers, next it'll be a hot and hellacious holiday in Tehran. Sound tempting? Suckers are a dime a dozen.

Monday, March 3, 2008 01:57 PM

Just tell the truth

Don't slice it up into the sexes, PEOPLE, ya know? like human beings? THEY'RE friggin' stupid. We're just marginaly better endowed with bigger brains that some of our tree swinging primate ancestors. Whenever you look in the mirror, boy Or girl, just remember you're not that far up the 'ol superiority scale from a goddamn gorilla.

Monday, March 3, 2008 02:15 PM

In that Clinton ad...

Was that the old Quaker oats guy? What's his name? Oh yeah, Wilford Brimley!
