They're telling us "...there's no fish in the water." Is that all they've got?

"This one is for Mr. Romney. What would you do about the proliferation of illegal penguins from south of the border continuously pouring into this country through non-secured holes in our frozen pond systems?"

Not funny. When are you going to have an Obama cartoon so we can make fun of him too? It's only fair, besides I can think of a lot of things I'd like to say about him.

If you're going to allow readers to make rude comments about conservative candidates, then you have to allow us to make rude comments about the worst president in our lifetime, namely Barack Obama.

Let's break out the violins for Abigail, who failed to notice that the cartoon could be interpreted either way but instead of coming up with something original relating to the cartoon, just used her comment to whine and make a partisan jab anyway.

Political satire is usually distinguished from political protest or political dissent, as it does not necessarily carry an agenda nor seek to influence the political process. While occasionally it may, it more commonly aims simply to provide entertainment. By its very nature, it rarely offers a constructive view in itself; when it is used as part of protest or dissent, it tends to simply establish the error of matters rather than provide solutions. Take a break from bipartisanship and laugh a little!

C'mon Abigail....spin it! try to make some lemonade out of these lemons that God and the GOP, and by extension the cartoonist, have given us.

@Abigail: Don't just complain. Dig in! How's this?

"Mr. Romney, Mr. Gingrich, thank-you for showing up to help us give Mr. Obama the hook."

-or-

"Mr. Romney, Mr. Gingrich, thank-you for being here. Mr. Obama seems to be a no-show, but at least he sent a representative."

(Try it. It's fun!)
