Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling Sarah Palin Presents: "Paul Revere's Ride" Listen, my children, you shall hear a great lecture, Of Paul Revere's ride; it was midnight, you betcha. Paul was ringin' those bells, so the British could comprende. We have the right to bear arms, So says the N.R.A. He rode through the streets, on his horse a display, That was designed to keep the Lamestream Media away. REVERE PAUL REVERE'S COLONIAL TOUR THIS IS PAUL REVERE He rode and he rode, shoutin' o'er dale and o'er hill, "The immigrants are comin'," and "Drill, baby, drill!" Ye Olde Boston Fox Crier Then halfway through his mission, he resigned this vocation, So he could take a lucrative job as a pundit with a news organization. A revolutionary hero, saved his nation from new threats, Too bad he wasn't a real American, he came from Tax-achusetts.

Id say the country was run into the ground a long time ago. Obama is trying to see what he can get for it at the scrapyard.

Is that guy in the 5th panel suppose to be Rush Limbaugh? This is funny because I know Toms just Lampooning Sarah Palin. Sarahs’ a very smart,and “Good-lookin’ Tomatah!”

There’s a BOOK in Sarah Palin’s cartoon avatar’s hand-now that’s really absurd!

Listen my children and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere. He stepped on the starter and pulled out the gas. The bottom fell out and he fell on his ? bummper ?

Aw, gee. It’s impossible to get in before “57! 57!!!”
I suppose if they had something else, I’d have a chance.

Well Jimjammerbob, fwiw the cartoon was very likely done before the Weiner story was ever big news, and goodness me you seem to think sexual idiocy is limited to Democrats (coff Arnold, Hopper, Sessions, Ashburn, Duvaull, Stanford, Stanly, ENSIGN, Berlin… coff)? I mean seriously?If Ensign didn’t resign why should Weiner? Oh well.

Palin, the perfect product of the public school system: ignorant, narcissistic, entitled. Too bad the Left can use all that to attack her patriotism.

pschearer, are you suggesting Pallin is a patriot? Because I think the evidence is clear that she is a self-interested harpie whose personal ambition is not to serve the country but herself. Her viewpoints are not fact-based, her knowledge of even the most basic stuff is below average, and yet she continues to not notice the elephant in the room, which is that she would best serve the country by staying the hell out of the policy making process.

The thing I really find hilarious with all things Palin is the right having a knee-jerk reaction and defending her. Defending the indefensible is almost always funny, especially when she continues to make the left’s case for them.

If she does make president, she’ll be the first president I’ve ever wanted to kiss. But only if for some reason you don’t count Rutherford B. Hayes.

Don´t be too sure, Radish. Thery voted Bush in twice. Americans have a strange love affair with uneducated morons as long as they are kind of folksy.

Umm, Night-Grunt69: do you still want to keep defending your Weiner? Do you know how much more ridiculous it makes you look? Read it and weep dude:http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/nothing_explicit_weiner_denies_rated_wMW8sl5M1w8ie0mwldmzdJ

Can this be anymore lame? How ‘bout a couple of verses about obama not knowing how many states there are or his not knowing what year it is when he signed the Queen’s book?Or anything about the stupid stuff obama has been doing since his coronation?At least Sarah’s not running the country into the ground.
Would you use the same standard if the cartoon were making fun of Obama – demand that it include criticism of a conservative as well?
Come on Rueben! Do a “cartoon” about Weiner (the Congressmen, not your…..). Oh no! Can’t do THAT! Palin’s more important to whitewash than to expose yet another sex-crazed poodle from the Dem swamp. Good job in drainin’ the Swamp Pelosi!Libs. What a pathetic group.
Would you also like to see cartoons about Republican sex scandals?
Palin, the perfect product of the public school system: ignorant, narcissistic, entitled. Too bad the Left can use all that to attack her patriotism.
1) It is true that Palin exhibits these traits, but so do you, possibly to an even higher degree. If you think that private school education protects against any of this, you are sadly mistaken.
2) I have rarely seen anyone attack Palin’s “patriotism”. What I see called into question, as here, is her competence, sincerity, and commitment. I have no reason to doubt that she has patriotic feelings. That doesn’t qualify her to be president.
Why didn’t your superior private school education protect you from this simple error of interpretation?

Ha ha! I don’t know which is funnier, Sarah Palin or all these Kneejerkers! Two peas in a pod I guess. I’m dieing of laughter over here. And maybe that is the plan, dieing of laughter as the ship goes down.

Why is the “left” so obsessed with this poor woman? She ceased being any kind of political threat years ago. Leave her peace and take on some real targets!
Like the continuation of two illegal wars, the expansion of the Patriot Act, Obama’s collusion with Wall Street, the failure of the press to defend Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, the jailing of Private Manning and on and on…
There are REAL problems in the world that Mr. Bolling could be using his considerable talents to shed light on.
Stop shooting fish in a barrel Rueben! For all our sakes!

Most tours have guides that explain everything. Evidently Sarah was too busy looking in a mirror or posing for the cams to listen. Not that it probably would do much good.

Actually Ruben is not the worst. Once in a while he even pokes a democrat. Once in a while.

Being unfunny is best left to Conservatives. Nice effort, though.

a good parady of right wing idiocy and lunacy.
