Hahaha...Bob Boudelang, you crack me up!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

Just when I think you're slacking, you'll throw a sentence like this one in there :D

So when you hear LIEberals, firebrant moderates and other reality based extremists say out loud that Karl Rove revealed classified information about a CIA agent, it is best to take it with a pillar of salt.

1. Heh..

isn't it supposed to be a grain of salt?

I get the religious thing though.

6. Bob also gets the Bible, the Constitution and Shakespeare confused...

As did Walt Kelly and Pogo...

One of my favorite bits of Pogo was Howland Owl remarking about Viet Nam, "Like it says in the Constitution, you may disagree with what I said, but you'll defend to the death whatever it was."

By the way, good drawings...are you an aspiring comic book artist?

8. Gotta love that freeper logic

and yes I am aspiring comic book artist. I am trying to get out there so to speak but I am confused as to where to start. Here's another drawing that I uploaded yesterday.

10. Would you be interested in doing an occasional political strip?

I've been thinking about some ideas for one...

[Democracy White]

12. I could try though I don't consider myself as politically adept

as some of the people here on DU. You can PM me with your ideas if you want.

2. Mr. Benchley does those . . . he does a great job with it, doesn't he.

A lot of his material is taken almost verbatim from right-wing websites. He's willing to crawl in the mud (reading those sites) to bring us a laugh.

Thanks, dude!

[MrBenchley]

4. Thanks...

When you crawl through those, it's amazing how many right wingers are obsessed with DU and feel the need to troll in here.

For some reason, any discussion of gun control seems to get them the most outraged and upset....

7. Freud explains it--when you lack confidence in your sexuality, you

need some phallic substitute to feel secure.

I have a couple of guns too--no big deal, they're just tools to me. But the gun lobby talks about their guns like gov't wants to take their manhood away.

Really, there're aren't many problems in today's complex world that can be solved with a gun, and Bush Co. is finding that out in Iraq.

[MrBenchley]

11. You will notice that any time a discussion of it

occurs here, the thread is immediately flooded with "why do you want to take my gun?" cries...

And of course, the gungeon here is laden with dishonesty and ignorance...

But then it's no coincidence that the worst administration in US history is loudly pushing "you gotta getta gun."

13. Kudos MrBenchley.

Bob's columns are among my favorites at DU.

[MrBenchley]

14. Thanks...

[MrBenchley]

3. Thanks...

I love the way people mangle stuff like that. One of my favorites ever was way back when during the Jeffrey Dahmer hoohah. There was a televised report about crowds coming to see the house where Dahmer committed his crimes, and one of those inteviewed said "I felt drawn to it like a moth to a fly."

Karl Rove was heavy going...because the lies the GOP are telling are SO preposterous that I couldn't figure out how to exaggerate them for comic effect....

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

5. I can see how difficult that would be

[MrBenchley]

9. Friday's pack of lies contradicted Thursday's pack of lies...

On Thursday, Rove didn't even know Plame's name when he talked to Cooper on July 11, 2003....on Friday, Novak was the one who told Rove Plame's name when they talked on July 9, 2003...

[MrBenchley]

15. shameless vanity kick...
