1. shows little minded bush at his best.

[Phredicles]

2. And harry reid at his most typical.

His name doesn't get capitalized until he actually stands up for himself (and us).

[Edweird]

3. That about sums it up.

[frylock]

4. spot on

[Kurovski]

5. Lol!

Comedy is the only place for the phrase "Shut up", and leave it to Tom to use it beautifully.

6. And Tom Tomorrow hits it out of the park

I'm actually old enough to remember the original ad that he is referencing and he did a really good job. The last frame was the best.

[badgerpup]

9. I remember those "98# weakling? Mr. Atlas chest expander !" ads...

...sorta.
There's much to be savored in these obscure culture references...



:kick:

19. I remember the ad too. Tom uses it with biting accuracy here. n/t

[deutsey]

20. Here's the original ad, fyi

22. Thanks for posting that! n/t

[Canuckistanian]

7. Oh, man...That's hilarious AND pathetic at the same time

And a nice job of re-creating the original comic!

[Bucky]

8. That's the worst cartoon rendering of Nancy Pelosi I've ever seen.

I wonder if Tomorrow knows that Reid actually was a pro boxer in his youth.

[TahitiNut]

12. Amateur ... amateur middleweight boxer and boxing judge

:shrug:

[Richard Steele]

10. Nice twist on a classic. recommended!

[hfojvt]

11. remember Daschle?

We had control of the Senate in 2002 as well. Having control of Congress is not enough when they can still filibuster and veto. More importantly, they still control the M$M.

[BlooInBloo]

13. I'll give you a chance: Tell us why we *shouldn't* think exactly that, Harry.

EDIT: And Nancy.

[PBass]

14. Kicked and recommended. (NT)

[Swamp Rat]

15. "Oh just shut the hell up.".. LOL!

:rofl:

[Pryderi]

16. Let's have "no confidence" vote on Senator Reid.

[tom_paine]

17. Could this cartoon be any more accurate and true?

I think not. Democracy is not democracy without an opposition.

[stillrockin]

18. This shoe fits perfectly.

:-(

[quiet.american]

21. Worthy of a Pulitzer. n/t

23. "I'd hit you, but you might just dry up and blow away."
