It’s so easy to confuse the Als Sharpton and Franken, with the one being a black Baptist minister and the other being a white Jew from Minnesota. (Thank you master proofreader “Vic” for bringing this to our attention!) [Huffington Post]
CARTOON CRITIQUES
All non WASPs look alike.
No wonder they can’t seat him in the Senate. Separation of church and state, dontcha know.
Thank goodness Mr. Franken’s been Saved. I can laugh at his jokes now.
The Republicans would rather seat Sharpton as a senator than Franken.
What, did you think Lizard People would vote for some un-Christian candidate?
I’m blustery enough, I’m bombastic enough, and doggone it, people like me.
Colander: What a tradeoff — now he’s not eligible to be on OldJewsTellingJokes.com.
Colander: Mann Coulter would say he has been “perfected.”
Wait’ll you see Franken’s movie about global warming.
Yes, just as Jews over the years have been depicted as bug-eyed nebbishes…Oh, wait a second.
Wait… Franken was Jewish? Does this mean he’s still responsible for all the wars in the world, or was he absolved when he converted?
Al Franken, Al Sharpton, eh…
The cartoon itself was either deeply disturbing or comical in a ha-ha, wingnuts are such morans kind of way.
No, on reflection, it is just disturbing.
Shouldn’t that be Rabbi Al Franken?
This cartoon is stupid and people are making a needless fuss over it. That said, I wish Sharpton was unemployed.
Sheezus, 5 minutes NEAR the Senate, and he’s already sold his soul to the Christian right.
SayItWithWookies: Bless you for linking this site.
Where’s that trademarked Republican Outrage?
DarkSynergy: Hey, you too can become a reverend probably. L Ron basically did it; it’s your turn.
freakishlystrong: “I am sorry that some have taken this cartoon to be offensive. I do hope we’ll be allowed to keep our sense of humor.”
Chimpanzees aren’t monkeys - they’re damned dirty apes.
I blame the Indians for their immigration policy and letting all these stupid white people in in the first place.
But what does the Rev. Al Gore have to say about this?
Miley started this whole thing with that photo showing her making fun of asian people…or their eyes, I’m not sure which. I’m pretty sure that she made it OK to do this sort of thing. That’s got to be it. It’s Miley’s fault.
That cartoon’s as funny as a dead chimpanzee.
DarkSynergy: I think it was a reference to that chimp that was shot dead by police in Connecticut after mauling a woman.
What I like best about Delonas’s cartoon is the vague reference to the cliche about 1000 chimps tied to 1000 typewriters eventually producing the works of Shakespeare, and how that reference is completely lost in the gaping morass of ham-handed racism.
First of all, chimps aren’t monkeys. Second of all, Obama didn’t write the bill. Second and a half, this is the first time I see an example of “Al-ism,” which takes all Als to be interchangeable.
I am shocked, shocked to learn that Rabbi Sharpton doesn’t know the difference between “infer” and “imply.”
Why did Connecticut police maul a woman?
Seat both of them and refer to the seat’s occupants as Al Sharpenfrank.
Naked Bunny with a Whip: It was a mini-maul, she’ll be fine.
Godot: WIN. This will be released as NY Post’s official reply in 3…2…1….
Unless the chimp had a weak set shot, I don’t see the parallel.
Well both the Als are comedians so perhaps that’s the link.
