Jules Feiffer has described Tony Auth best, "His perspective is that of a bemused and often angry comic historian. Irony, never a favorite form with Americans, is his meat and potatoes. He is not smug, and though he can be mean, he is never mean-spirited. Auth is a moralist and an optimist. He insists, even in this day and age, that hope is more than the name of a right-wing comedian or the shtick of a reactionary president."

Again, I’d like to thank Todd Akin for showing the cons true colors. A sickening puke green.

Sorry I have to disagree with you. Women do get pregnant when rapped that was even worse. I am a righty and Akin is dumb.

Rapped?! That just means hit, I think.

One nut on the tree finally “blew it” in a public statement that many of them believe (like Ryan). NOW it’s hilarious watching them backpedal, flip-flop, and spin like tops to put some “spin” on their idiocy!

Considering Kansas’ history of doing dumb stuff, it is not often that I am happy to be on the Kansas side of Kansas City. But with this guy touting around, I am finally counting a blessing.

The war on women is doing great. I just wish they could see us as PEOPLE and not thangs.

Yes, but just remember that Rusty Lamebrain is from Mo. as well, so now you have another reason to be happy you are living on the West side of town!

Really, REALLY? One democratic member states (rightly) that ann romney dosn’t work, and the right turned that in to “DEMS HATE WOMEN” “DEMOCRATIC WAR ON WOMEN”.

I think the word Legitimate Rape has validity. Like the girl that agrees to sex, but then her dad finds out and she now cries rape. (Anybody remember the Duke University Lacrosse team incident.) And before the libs start saying that that those are anectodal, I can say with 100% accuracy they happen. So yes, legitimate rape is a good phrase. But hey, it’s a republican, why bother using the same standard with the left.

@BillWa
“Antecdotal” means that they happen, but are not representative. That is exactly what your comments represent.

No means no. Too deep a concept for conservatives to understand.

Glad to see how horrible your side has treated Minnesota State Rep. Terry Gauthier so far. Wait, they don’t think it’s wrong, evidently.
