Newt, The Mama Grizzly, And The Weinie



And so we return once again to the political field, with another look at the 2012 election campaign through the eyes of editorial cartoonists. First, though, if you haven't seen it, check out my guest blog at The Blog Entourage, where I blogged about a certain scandal that's run its course. At least we hope it has.



The field of candidates who'll run against President Obama next year is starting to shape up, with the Republicans running a slate of contenders for the nomination, some of whom are buffoonish, others of whom are the sort who'll put us all to sleep. Maybe that's the idea.

There's Mitt Romney, of course, he with the weird name. Mitt, did your parents lose a bet when they got to giving you a name? Or did Dad really, really like baseball?


As much as we'd like to, we can't ignore the Mama Bear from Alaska....


And then there's Newt Gingrich, whose latest kick at the political can seems to be coming to a screeching halt even before it can really get off the ground....

Decisions, decisions....


Yes, what could possibly go wrong?


Round up twice the number of usual suspects!


Whichever candidate finally rises up to get the nomination, I think it's safe to assume that on the Democrat side, there's one politician who has torpedoed his political career for once and for all time. Yes, Congressman Weinie... er, Congressman Weiner, I'm talking about you.

  1. The Wienie gets a wedgie, huh?

    I've said it before...you're at your snarky best when taking on politicians. And this is one of your best!

    You really should be on The Daily Show. Or at least writing for it.

  3. As a Republican, I'm not looking forward to this election. But if you don't laugh, you'll cry.

  14. Oh my....I'm dreading this election thing. There's not much to choose from ever. It's worse than the Chinese roach infested buffet.

  15. Okay, so you find the best editorials. I'm just tired of political elections being a choice between the lesser of the two evils.
