Nothing says "intellectually bankrupt" like a condescending, shopworn stereotype used in a straw man argument. Although I must admit that using a cartoon nicely matches the media to the level of intelligence of the piece.

And the bikini contest matchup? Fuhgedaboudit!!

Do people just automatically accept anything they read on the internet as gospel? Judging from the comments, yes. Steven Kangas was a uber-liberal activist with an axe to grind for everything that didn't fit his narrow "progressive" views. Hardly an objective source. I once found an article that quoted David Icke on an anti-Bush rant. The people were just glowing with praise for Mr. Icke's political acumen. Then I pointed out that Mr Icke also believes that the world is secretly controlled by reptilian alien overlords.

Those who constantly rail about how bad Bush is were either not born yet or in a coma during the Carter administration. Not content with having the worst Presidency in recent history (remember double-digit inflation, bending over for the Soviet Union and Iran, giving away the Panama Canal, 20% home loans and 9% unemployment?) Jimmah is now hell-bent on making his legacy even more suitable for lining a cat litter box.

Maher has all the class of a stool sample.

Let us not forget that the government (federal, state and local combined) collects roughly 47 cents from each gallon of gas regardless of whether the oil companies are making or losing money. So if these showboating congressmen who rail against the oil companies really want to help "the people", how about cutting back on what they consider to be "their share" which is actually OUR MONEY?

While this page is not political, it does bring up a very relevant point. There is no better example of the blatant hypocrisy of liberal Democrats than their current "McCain is too old" mantra which is being pushed by none other than Howard Dean. While they decry any criticisms of Hillary as subliminally sexist, or Obama as racist, they apparently see no problem with being "ageist" against McCain. Even that corrupt, traitorous fool Jack Murtha who is older than McCain has signed on to this, making himself look even more stupid in the process. So much for the left's self-anointed moral high ground on tolerance.

If the government seriously wants to help the people with the high price of gas - why don't they start by giving up some of their exorbitant taxes? I guess its much easier to scapegoat the oil companies.
