Besides being stupid, this cartoon is factually inaccurate.

1) No.... it's definitely fucking stupid. Which, besides being unfunny, is tied into point number 2.
2)
a) Eric Holder, not Jamie Gorelick, is Obama's pick for AG.
b) There had been an "intelligence wall" since the very early '80s under Reagan. Jamie Gorelick's contribution was a single memo. That would be like accusing someone who dumped one bucket of used motor oil into a lake for all of the world's pollution problems. A convenient scapegoat, but hardly a deserving one.
c) She left Fannie Mae in 2003, 5 years before the catastrophic collapse. There is no evidence that she had anything to do with the decisions that led to its failure. That contention is based entirely upon the fact that she once was a Vice Chair there. That's it.

Therefore, the cartoon is inaccurate. And it's inaccuracy lends to its stupidity.

For the last time, I'm sorry, OK? I'm sorry for causing all the world's pollution problems.

I knew I shouldn't have dumped that bucket of used motor oil in the lake.

I like how he doesn't reply. Well done.

Well, we'll see. He may have just not gotten to it yet. But let's hope so. :-)

I've had many similar interactions with that clown. Trust me, if he replies, it'll only be to spite those of us who predicted otherwise.

The so called "intelligence wall" had nothing to do with 9-11. Bush not paying attention to security briefings caused 9-11.

no. The facts say so.

Shhh. Don't confuse him with facts. There is a certain breed of conservative that cannot process facts, only right wing propaganda. This seems to be one of them.

yeah, I know. But other people read this stuff too, so...

Umm, if you'd been paying attention to the news today, you'd know that an AG selection is being rumored for Obama and is not Gorelick.

But please continue to amuse yourself inside your bubble.

Why? Did they make you post this cartoon?

Apparently the third time is not the charm...no image. Try a 4th time, maybe you'll get lucky.

I love how this comic obliviously sees itself as the conservative version of Doonesbury.

It could be funny. If lying was funny.

I knew the drawing style was familiar, now I feel dumb for not placing it.

Wow, talk about bad timing... It sure ain't Jamie Gorelick.

I've always found it amusing that conservatives are so fond of Calvin.

Makes perfect sense to me - he lies and uses misdirection and fantasy to avoid getting in trouble for genuine misdeeds. And he does it way better than they could ever dream of.

Muir's art tacitly proclaims that he's never seen a female human naked, and his writing seems equally proud that he's stayed away from all forms of reality.

The alternate-reality_hammer strikes again!

The funny thing about lying is that people often expect you to validate the lie.
