oh, this'll have you howling with laughter


Apparently Repugnican supporters, not content with habitually insulting and sliming Katrina survivors, are now circulating this ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS piece of wit among themselves:

So, attention, Texans! If you get smitten by Hurricane Ike as hard as everyone fervently hopes you won't, be prepared for these wags to start trivializing and ridiculing your plight!

A friend sent me this among a selection of perhaps a couple dozen other Repug cartoons, and I'd say fully one-third of them could be open to this sort of dual interpretation; i.e., viewed another way, they could be seen as pointing up Repug flaws and vilenesses.

Another example was a sad-looking moose saying, "Be afraid. Be very afraid." I imagine that's a real thigh-slapper for people who like to go around slaughtering moose, but for all the rest of us . . .

It seems the GOP don't really understand this humour thang.
