America This Week: World Politics Cartoons and Commentary - 22 May 2010

From Denny: America is definitely in the mood to shoot themselves some politicians, figuratively speaking. Voter anger has shut off the drug drip from the lobbyists to long time puppet politicians. Of course, the million dollar question, literally figured in kickbacks and payoffs, is whether the new group of fresh politicians will end up in the wallets of Big Business interests just like the last batch.

One fresh face just elected in his GOP primary in Kentucky is Rand Paul. This guy is already in the pockets of as many Big Business interests as he can find it seems. Already he has spoken against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 - what a piggy racist - because he is crying the blues of all the tough high hurdles Big Business has to do to employ minorities - or women for that matter. You know, that pesky annoying mosquito in the room called ethics in business.

Then Paul goes on to insult everyone on the entire Gulf Coast with crying the blues and pleading the case for BP and how they should not be blamed. This guy would be wise to withdraw from the Senate race before someone takes it into their own hands to tar and feather the guy and run him out of the country. He is truly a case of "Stupid is as Stupid does."

Politics, the Supreme Court, lobbyists and their handlers Big Business - all crazy human behavior and never a dull moment! :)

Video: Applaud the Democrat Who is Defiant Over "Die Quickly" Comment, Facebook Murder Poll

From Denny: Let me see if I understand this correctly... This guy speaks the truth about how the Republicans are denying health care where the end result is that 45,000 people a year die because they can't afford to get help. So, the Republicans want this Dem to apologize for incendiary remarks? You have got to be kidding.

The Republicans have launched an all out war trying to get some unbalanced person to go and attempt to assassinate President Obama and they want an apology? The latest is the murder poll on Facebook which it took the Secret Service to order them to take it down. And you wonder why sane people don't hang out at Facebook?

They've been running a dastardly pysch poll over there since March. The study they are running is evident they are searching for weak minds and they want to see how far they can go to manipulate them. I left as soon as I saw what was going on. Note: They don't allow you to delete your account, only suspend it. Sweet. These people are a nasty bunch running Facebook.

Of course, there's more from conservative talk radio and letters to the editor, newspaper ads, flyers to your home, photoshoped video on YouTube, you name it. The media is choking on death threats against Obama, as they have risen over 400% since he took office.

It's time we all start calling down these jerks who think it's OK to incite unbalanced people to go out and kill someone. They need to be prosecuted just as if they pulled the trigger. It just goes to show you that big business is backing all this. Where there is money at stake, the greedy will ruthlessly do anything.



Update @ 5 PM thanks to a reader from newsy.com, that discusses the internet uproar over this facebook poll. Here's the video they are running:

This Weeks Roundup of Sunday Funnies: Sicko Cinco de Mayo, New Dem Senator

The Tonight Show

Jay Leno: See all those people on the news walking around wearing those surgical masks, huh? Suddenly Michael Jackson not so crazy, huh?

The Colbert Report

Steven Colbert: President Obama got exactly the gift he wanted, an adorable new senator [former Republican Sen. Arlen Specter]. I just hope he is housebroken.

The Late Late Show

Craig Ferguson: [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad complained President Obama hasn't been returning his messages. No offense, Mahmoud, but maybe he's just not that into you.

The Colbert Report

Steven Colbert: Republican Sen. Arlen Specter has contracted donkey flu. Folks, this disease is now officially out of control. Back in 2004 we thought we had it contained to the coasts and the cities, but then it mutated and tore through the country.

Note from Denny: For the folks outside of America so you don't miss out on the inside America joke: donkey flu is a code phrase for changing your political party affliation to the Democratic Party.

The Tonight Show

Jay Leno: Biden isn't speaking out so much lately. Today, President Obama took some action. Did you see them together? Take a look. Duct tape. Look.

Jimmy Kimmel Live

Jimmy Kimmel: We have the first president ever who knows how to use Facebook, but his staff can't use Photoshop. Here it is, here is Air Force One and the Statue of Liberty, and look what else we can do. We can see President Obama walking on the wing.
