Worth it though, isn't it. :-)

[csziggy]

48. That was great - I won't be able to call that pair anything else from now on.

[rzemanfl]

54. "Geezer and Gidget" is perfect. Mine got my thread locked in

under five minutes.

[Cha]

61. Why would your thread get

locked?

[rzemanfl]

82. I picked something more sexist than Gidget. n/t

[Cha]

60. "Geezer" who loves WAR and Gidget who loves WAR and

hates Polar Bears.. and doesn't mind lying to keep the law at bay.

[Khaotic]

[1Hippiechick]

24. I like "Republicans Get Rolling" n/t

[Arugula Latte]

29. Hah hah! "seems well Quayle-ified"

Great line!

[Yukari Yakumo]

34. "Well Quayle-ified"

:spray:

[sniffa]

39. The sign looks like it says, VEEP CHOKE

[existentialist]

42. Actually, one of the cartoons I am reminded of is a Bill the Cat

campaign slogan:

"A desperate choice for desperate times."

[Cha]

64. Very well Quaylefied and

mccain's going out of the box is more proof that he puts his political ambitions above his country.

[jcla]

73. "Look past the buttons and behold the pantsuit" well

She is a rightwing fundamentalist and will bring in their money and support... and a woman....
Let's get them on the issues (as much as I like Geezer and Gidget) we have to wake America up to her stands... far far far FAR RIGHT. Her abuses of power in Alaska and leaving her town in debt. To say nothing of the Supreme Court choices she (and friends) will make and McShame will love... Overturning Roe v. Wade and perhaps teaching Creationist Christian bible instead of evolution.

[ekwhite]

76. She is not only a right wing fundamentalist

She is a dominionist, with ties to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel%27s_army">Joel's Army.

[TheDonkey]

14. love the final buttons and the elephant in heels

CHANGE!

[PatSeg]

15. K&R

[ronnykmarshall]

17. My step-pappy will love these.

His "chicken shit sister" as he calls her ... sends him GOP shit all the time.

[L0oniX]

18. Kicky poo

[vaberella]

19. These are the most sexist cartoons I have ever seen. God Almighty!! n/t

[a la izquierda]

26. The elephant in heels and the one with her measurements...

absolutely puke-worthy. But the rest emphasize that she was selected based on the fact that McCain is pandering to PUMAS. I don't see that as sexist.

[Pacifist Patriot]

68. I thought the elephant in heels was one of the better ones.

It really emphasizes the bait and switch. Says, the GOP: We're going to put a female face on the Republican party to make it look like we support change....when knowing full well not a bloody thing is going to change other than the gender of the VP.

[DutchLiberal]

27. 99% of the time I don't buy the 'sexist' theme, but this time...

You're right.

[progressivebydesign]

28. As a feminist, I say.. that when they chose for being a female, then it's fair game.

if she wants to be used as a token female, then i have no problem with those cartoons. If she had mofo credentials, or hell.. even scant credentials, to be VP, then I'd scream sexism. But her only qualification for this pick was her anatomy.

[DutchLiberal]

35. Would it be 'fair game' to make racist jokes in case he had chosen a black running mate?

[dbmk]

49. You've got it upside down

It is jokes about _them_ being sexist, in so far as the cartoonist believes she was not chosen for solid political or experience reason. But as a token. So they move it to the extreme to point it out.

They are not ridiculing her for being a woman, but for being picked because of it. That you can then disagree with, of course.

If someone had picked a runningmate of colour purely for that reason, it would be just as fair game to make a cartoon about that.

[DutchLiberal]

50. Who are you kidding? Had he picked a black man just because he's black...

No way such cartoons would have been made. But ridiculing a women for being a women is okay. That's a double standard.

[dbmk]

51. They are not ridiculing her. They are not ridiculing her for being a woman either.

They are ridiculing the decision for picking her.

And I did not say that cartoons would be made in the other, theoretical instance. I just said it would be ok. From my point of view.
As long as the point was not ridiculing the concept of being a person of colour, but ridiculing a deliberate decision to pick someone mainly for reasons that can only be attributed to genetical dispositions established at conception.

[Cha]

65. Thanks for explaining that so well to the

poster who doesn't get it.

[DutchLiberal]

90. It's not that I don't "get it". I just have another opinion.

[NBachers]

55. Well, go vote for her, then

That'll make up for it.

[DutchLiberal]

89. ? You need to work on logical argumentation...

[RichGirl]

63. If Hillary had won the nom...

...and we had a lot of unhappy black people and McCain picked an unqualified black guy, let's say Dave Chapelle...then YES he would be fair game. I believe in equality.

[Mad_Dem_X]

47. I totally agree

She was chosen solely on the basis of her gender. Her stance on abortion alone makes me shudder.

[TankLV]

30. Oh get a sense of humor already...

"And while my lust for your sharp librarian looks may be a sexist invalidation of all that you've accomplished professionally, I really don't have to worry. Because you haven't really accomplished anything professionally."

[medicswife]

37. It's satire. The point is that they're using her. nt

[Pacifist Patriot]

69. Why would they be sexist? The cartoons aren't denegrating women, but they...

putting a rather fine point on the fact that McCain's choice is idiotic. I think they make McCain look like the sexist pig for picking a pretty face instead of a qualified candidate.

[CarbonDate]

78. As with racism, pointing out sexism can sometimes comes across as sexism.

What's more sexist than advancing the younger, prettier, non-threatening woman with the nice smile ahead of much more qualified and accomplished women like KBH and Condi Rice? We may all hate Condi for her politics, but as a former National Security Advisor and sitting Secretary of State, she has more foreign policy experience in one eyelash than Sarah Palin has in her entire body. Vice President would seem to be the next natural step for her, as opposed to the first term governor of a state with less than 700,000 people whose major qualification is seemingly her lack of qualifications.

[Left Is Write]

79. Absolutely.

I'm no fan of Condi Rice, but she's eminently more qualified for VP than Sarah Palin.

[nam78_two]

20. Lol-zing

[scarletwoman]

53. Okay, here's my k&r!

[MiniMe]

56. McCain can't lift his arm above his shoulder

Just commenting on that.

[Cha]

57. Mccain also loves the Lies and Abuse of Power this

woman brings to his so called ticket.

Thanks for these political strip visuals highlighting mccain's, once again, focusing on his political ambitions above his country's welfare.

[redqueen]

62. Thanks for these!

72. Love that! Even if it is a guilty pleasure. nt

[jn2375]

74. those damn buttoms are hillarious LOL

[ekwhite]

75. The last one is my favorite

That had me laughing out loud.

[savistocate]

80. Oh the SNL skits, Late Night comedy especialy late late

Stewart and !Colbert! yet to come. Getting to sleep later and later.

As laugh riot as the -'homes' - scrapbook.

[flor-de-jasmim]

81. The last is the only one with any class. But what's really unfortunate

is that by choosing a "trophy VP", McCain has reopened the door for the blatantly sexist reactions such as these. Of course, the video of him gazing at her butt while twisting his wedding ring didn't help, either.

[jeff30997]

83. K&R

Truly funny!

[urgk]

84. This explains the pick ;-)

7.tapped - Previously used; mostly referring to chicks. Evolved from "i would tap that", hence she has already been tapped

man1: Im gunna go ask Sally out to dinner.
man2: say away from her man, shes been tapped... on numerous occasions.]

[Khaotic]

88. Tapped

That is funny ... and it's a REAL headline!

[quidam56]

85. McSame and Plain Jane

OBAMA/BIDEN is a win win !!
