Hey, did you know that it's only March? That's right, you have another seven months of this stupid election to endure. Since it's already gone on for eleventy billion months already, everything of remote substance has already been hashed out and forgotten, so now all we have time for are the wild accusations. And everyone knows wild accusations are more fun in cartoon form!
Wild accusation: Hillary Clinton enjoys both bestiality and necrophilia (but only in combination).
Basis in truth: Sadly, this is more Hillary exaggeration and spin. In an attempt to prove that her sexual prowess was superior to her opponents, Hillary boasted that she had once "fucked a dinosaur." When it was pointed out to her that dinosaurs have been dead for millions of years, she claimed that she "misspoke," and that the dinosaur she fucked had been dead at the time. Even this version of the story was ultimately disproved by the brave testimony of popular '80s funnyman Bronson Pinchot.
Wild accusation: Barack Obama spent much of his younger years dedicating himself to his first love: figure skating.
Basis in truth: With his long, lithe body and his natural ease and grace, it would have been crazy for Obama to not have tried his luck on the figure skating circuit. Sure, it might seem a little weird that he wore a skirt for his routines, but his coaches told him that with his great legs, the unorthodox move would make an excellent impression on the judges.
As for all of those possibly disturbing videos on YouTube of him mincing about effeminately on ice — well, we can keep talking about those out-of-context images until we're blue in the face, but if we don't move on to the real issues that are facing America, we're just going to see more of the same in 2012, possibly starring Mitt Romney, and nobody wants that.
Wild accusation: In their desperate lust for cash, all of the candidates have hired aggressive hobos to bolster their fundraising efforts.
Basis in truth: Ha, if only. Paying deranged homeless men in sammiches and sterno to berate passers-by into coughing up spare change would be much more dignified than the way these campaigns are actually raising money, which is soliciting it over the Internet.
If you were a candidate, which would you rather have: a crumpled five-dollar bill hurled at a raving schizophrenic out of guilt, or a $50 credit card contribution which was entered into a browser window that shared screen space with a furry porn chat window in which your supporter was getting a blow job from a raccoon?
Wild accusation: Hillary plans to literally take the Democratic Party hostage until they agree to make her their presidential nominee.
Basis in truth: This is actually more of a misunderstanding. You can see how it happened, because usually a donkey is a symbol of the Democrats. In this case, though, it's just an actual donkey. Hills just can't get enough of torturing animals.
Wild accusation: If the Democrats haven't settled on a nominee by the time the convention rolls around, the issue will be decided by a sissy slap fight between the two candidates' champions: a disheveled, obese Bill Richardson, and a freakishly lumpy-headed and lizard-like James Carville.
Basis in truth: Sadly, this scenario will only play out in the fevered imaginations of the more perverse superdelegates.
Wild accusation: Whenever he's feeling down, Dick Cheney enjoys dressing up as a pretty, pretty princess.
Basis in truth: This is actually 100 percent true. Look, he's definitely got the cleavage for it.

Tonya Harding has a guest-starring gig on the new Court TV/Smoking Gun show. What the hell happened to the Son of Sam Law? Don't that have that in Michegon?
Cheney likes to set up a tea table with Polly Prissy Pants and several other of his dolls, then blast 'em with his shotgun.
What I'm looking forward to is a sissy slap fight between Mark Penn and, oh, anybody.
"Smickity smack smek" is the best onomatopoeia ever.
That's exactally what it would sound like if Lord Voldemort got in a slap fight with Fidel Castro.
That Richardson/Carville one is possibly the first political cartoon I've ever actually found genuinely amusing. Judas/Poodas? Hilarity.
Figure Skater Barry has some child-bearing hips!
"Poodas"? does that mean something in Spanish? Or am I trying too hard?
"Iraq War" fan? What the hell does that even mean? He is cooling himself with conflict? He thinks it makes him look pretty?
... Now if it was a purse, then I could find SOME logic to it, albeit the kind of logic you have to have brain damage to think is clever.
Richardson vs Carville, or Luciano Pavorati vs Judge Doom?
That's how it went with Bill's "little man," too.
Poodas? Bill must be the guy who mailed a box of shit to the NRCC.
There's no way Hillary's arm could be around that donkey at that angle. The only realistic option is the donkey has chewed it off.
I then assume Hillary's question is villainously rhetorical -- and the donkey is now dead, and Clinton has combat experience.
Cheney looks like Ursula the sea witch.
@mathewbrooks:
And Libby and Rove could be his eels...
@mathewbrooks: "looks like"? Try is, friend.
I think we can all agree that if Hilz were as good as that at 'CPR' (and I didn't know that's what the kids were calling it these days), she wouldn't be in a situation where she had to hold the donkey hostage, Carville and Richardson wouldn't be smekking each other, and nobody would care if Barry looked good in a skirt.
But Cheney would still drink baby blood with his pinky in the air. That will never change.
@Ghede:
A small part of me wants a pre-Revolutionary period French ball gown with my last name on it.
That is one scary looking Tonya Clinton.
And I can't decide whether the hostage cartoon reminds more of National Lampoon or Blazing Saddles.
If there is to be a "Tonya Harding" option, I wonder if people remember that neither one of them got the gold that year...
@ManchuCandidate:
Poodas is the one who betrayed baby Jeebus.
@Guppy06: Well, not 'til you just reminded me. Thanks for ruining this week's interwebs meme.
Late March, however.
I take offense to this article.
Many of my good friends are furries, and they would like people to know they masturbate to their chosen candidate drawn as a raccoon.
@Sabre_Justice: Okay, no more long name.:
Amen.
Besides, anyone who contributes to a candidate without at least getting a virtual BJ is nuts, IMO.
I'm available, BTW *licks lips*
If I never see Pavarotti and Skeletor duking it out again via pansy slaps, it'll be too soon.
