His literalist style does not get to the 'heart' of the 'man'. Telnaes drawing is magnificent, and Clay Jones does get the point across. Luckovich is showing a raw lack of imagination.

and cuddly to represent the Rethuglican Party.

I recommend either a crocodile or a Fer de Lance.

However, I'm thinking amoebae is what we're dealing with. They like gross water, might be light-sensing, and go dormant til they can spoil a good time.

Allegory aside, snakes are too, eh, pardon me in advance, phallic - would go to their heads.

I'm gonna go dig around in listings of brood parasites. The episode about cuckoo birds from the series, Natural Curiosities w/David Attenborough, comes to mind.

Have you looked at Leishmania?

Not that there aren't, probably, worse ones.

Weasels are NOBLE BEASTS compared to repuglicans, and they RESENT such a comparison!

"What's the difference between a weasel and a Republican?

Weasels don't play golf."


And yes, I gave it to my obnoxious, entitled, Ditto-head brother-in-law. The first time I met him he was was wearing a t-shirt that had arrows pointing in opposite directions, one pointing towards "Clinton" and the other "Prosperity." (An example of his highly developed sense of humor.) He and my sister were so excited when they got tickets to Rush's short-lived TV show. Naturally, they were early supporters of the vile occupant of the WH. (Since they are grifting, racist low-lifes, too, I think they recognized him as the grand master of their chosen life path.)
