Mallard Fillmore compares Joe Biden with Todd Akin

He says Akin's "gaffe" is the same as Biden's "gaffe" and Akin's gaffe got 5X as much coverage because of the mainstream media (it's so very liberal, you know). Our newspaper puts Doonesbury and Mallard Fillmore at the bottom of the opinion page as "equals". This one really makes me mad!

Never seen an even vaguely amusing Mallard Fillmore strip.

Not one... and of course the guy is a right wing loon.

Pardon the pun.

I guess our paper doesn't have any other comic and feels they need to have opposing sides together.

There is a reason you don't see movies or sitcoms that deal with Conservatives to any great extent. Why there is no stand-up comedy for Conservative ideas.

They are BORING!
