If Carl Jung were alive today, he’d see political cartoons as a shortcut into our collective subconscious. Those brave few Americans who continue to read newspapers have the honor or seeing the darkest, foulest recesses of the human mind barfed out daily onto editorial pages everywhere. In order to fulfill their appointed role of shocking a jaded nation, the cartoonists select only the most depraved, taboo-violating subjects for their art. What we’re trying to say is that this week’s cartoons are all about awful stuff, so brace yourself before you click the clicky and see the things in store for you. MORE »

We were watching this horrific CNN clip of evil Washington corporate lawyer/lobbyist Lanny Davis and others discussing the recent uptick in American rudeness — a few black athletes and rappers (and Joe Wilson!) have been very rude recently, according to the new fake national trend — and as Lanny was whining about Jimmy Carter’s “virulent anti-Israel attitude,” we noticed that he was associated with something called “The Civility Project” for this particular television vomit-bath. Yes, that’s right, the known poopfuck Lanny Davis has some new organization where he moans about civility! HE… HE WANTS US TO TAKE A PLEDGE. MORE »

Hey junior crime-solvers, President of America Jimmy Carter has solved our country’s most terrible mystery, which is exactly just how racist is Joe Wilson? The answer? It was Mr. Wilson… in the House chamber… motivated by TONS OF RACISM. Wilson has vehemently denied being a guilty of racism, which exactly how a guilty person would act. Nice try. Like you, Jimmy Carter finds the whole thing “dastardly.” MORE »

From yesterday’s Power Lunch of the Living (?) Presidents, here’s an official White House photograph of George H.W. Bush Sr. “41″ and George W. Bush Jr. “43″ protecting the elitist patriot Barack Obama from these two scary old white-headed Democrats. Notice which two dudes aren’t wearing flag pins. [White House]

John McCain enjoys a well-deserved reputation as a charismatic, maverick jokester with a devastating wit. Plus, he likes Ernest Hemingway, so he knows good writin’! So it’s no surprise that, a minute and a half into an interview with Brian Williams, he would bust out with a fantastic bit of silver tonguery about Barack Obama being the second coming of Jimmy Carter — and then laugh uncomfortably at his own joke while Brian Williams asks, “Why do you say that?” See the excruciating footage after the jump.

See what you’re missing?

It was a pretty bad Condiweek! She went all the way to the Middle East and accomplished little more than photo-ops with the morbidly obese; she bickered with kindly old man Jimmy Carter; and then she came home and participated in one of the most gruesomely cynical Bush Administration publicity stunts EVER. Catch up with America’s Princess Diplomat after the jump!

Jimmy Carter started his unofficial but CONTROVERSIAL visit with Palestine’s Hamas leaders today and here are the first naughty AP pix. Look: the Hamas is such a terrorist group that they have guns! They will shoot Carter if he does not lie face-down on the cement as that greeter is clearly instructing him to do. Good Lord, Jimmy Carter is old. More pixxx after the jump! MORE »

According to some sources, nobody would be happier to throw Hillary Clinton under the vaunted Democratic bus than Jimmy Carter and Al Gore. As historical losers themselves — a single-term President and failed Presidential aspirant — they know a thing or two about what it takes to lose an election. That’s what gives them so much “street cred” with the Democratic Party, which is why Hillary Clinton will have to listen to them. But where’s John Kerry? Isn’t he a lovable loser, too? MORE »

What else has America’s Princess Diplomat been up to for the last seven days? Well, it all involves paperweights, cutesy baseball references, Jimmy Carter, and torture! Yay! Find out all about it after the jump.

The Holocaust of the Unborn has reached its lowest levels since 1974, the first full year after the Supreme Court sanctioned the mass killing of the innocent with Roe v. Wade. While fetus lovers everywhere celebrate, you might wonder whether the reason for the drop is that America has improved sex education in its schools or made low-cost contraceptives widely available to those who can’t afford them? Ha ha ha, get serious. MORE »
