1. Superb! Covers many different points ...all at once.

[snagglepuss]

12. I agree and it all so subtle. I see more each tiime I look at it. like the sock

on the elephant that appears to be made from the stars and stripes and the tattered GOP (?) party banners hnaging in the background. I just love how evil and slithery the bear and the rattler are, not in anyway cute or harmless.

2. Palin has a soul?

Could've fooled me.

[Drunken Irishman]

5. She has multiple souls...

And she keeps 'em locked in a box somewhere in her closet.

[snagglepuss]

10. Perhaps her evil essence would be a better term.

7. This cartoonist really understands the situation

Nice separation of Palin, teabaggers and the GOP - and their roles.

"In short, we liberals have done a miserable job over the past fifteen years. But we remain very good at one thing; we’re very good at telling everyone else how stupid and foolish they are! Those who disagree with us are “wing-nuts”—and now, they’re “tea-baggers” too. We call them names every chance we get, then marvel at the wing-nutty way they reject our advanced ideas.

Let’s face it: This has always been the principal “joy of liberalism.” Among a certain type of white pseudo-liberal, the very point of being a liberal is the opportunity it gives us to name-call working-class whites. This is our one undeniable skill—and it reaches its fullest flower when we get to call them racists. Indeed, a certain type of white pseudo-liberal lives for the pleasures this practice provides. It’s the only political play we seem to know. We’re like a football team which runs off right tackle every play—then wonders why it can’t score."

11. What are you smoking? Do you think repukes and tea baggers are all

working class whites? I doubt they are even the majority. It is you who is dealing in stereotypes. I was raised in a working class home, my father a diehard union man in the railroad and I am working class. Forgive me if niether he nor I are brainless idiots.

[hfojvt]

18. it is certain that most of them are white

and since you think they are brainless idiots that presumably means that they neither have a college degree, nor the kind of job that requires a college degree. My own job is as a part-time janitor.

[MikeMc]

21. The GOP, Tea, and Grizzly -- they aren't a class issue. nt

L'il bush has some college degrees from Harvard and Yale, and Palin went to 6 institutions of higher learning. They bought their degrees, and they are brainless idiots. They are white by happenstance, but no minority that was equally untalented would be a big wheel in the Palin-Rove-Armey scheme of things.

13. Wha???

I read that like 5 times and I can't figure out your point.

14. I like this reader's comment: The Teabaggers...

... are "people who are 'so rich with contempt for every last human problem never had to face' (h/t Philip Roth, The Human Stain)."
