Right-Wing Blogger Continues to Have a Cow Over Cartoons

Following my report over at the Dump Bachmann Blog about Mark Olson's pathetic plea on the House floor for a Personal Rapid Transit amendment that was denounced by four representatives, including one Republican and voted down 26 to 107, the right-wing blogger, Mitch Berg stomped over to complain that he was being "lumped in" with gadgetbahners Olson, Bachmann and Zimmermann. Mitch said, "No, Avidor. I could care less about your little short-bus noodlings..."

I'm not the only cartoonist that disturbs Mitch (Talking-Points-Parrot) Berg .... he doesn't like Steve Sack either who Berg describes as "deeply dim".

Not to suggest that I'm in the same league as Steve Sack... one of the best political cartoonists in the nation (and an excellent painter too)... I just want make the point that it is a sign of desperation when fundies, flakes and political hacks go after cartoonists
:
"Then, Harper's Weekly began to publish satirical cartoons by Thomas Nast, featuring the Tweed Ring. In one cartoon, Tweed and gang, portrayed as big-bellied vultures, stood over a body labeled "New York." The caption read "Let Us Prey." Tweed did get upset about the cartoons. 'Stop those pictures!" Tweed roared. "I don't care so much about the papers. My constituents can't read. But they can't help seeing them ... pictures!'"
