I mean, is this really supposed to be funny? It's not even clever.

|1.16.09 @ 8:46AM|

Blago could stand in for Hugo.

Technomist|1.16.09 @ 8:47AM|

But when was the last one which was?

TofuSushi|1.16.09 @ 8:51AM|

I do not get it either.

Reinmoose|1.16.09 @ 8:59AM|

I'm not even going to say it - you know what I'm thinking.

|1.16.09 @ 9:02AM|

Burris isn't an Obama crony.

Burris isn't a Blagojevich crony.

I don't get it.

TofuSushi|1.16.09 @ 9:10AM|

Quit agreeing with me out of habit Joe.

JLM|1.16.09 @ 9:13AM|

Let me be the first to submit some official 2009 performance feedback for Mr. Payne:

"This employee has hit rock bottom and has started to dig"

|1.16.09 @ 9:16AM|

"Friday Funnies"

Only half true.

Looks like someone still didn't have an idea at 6:30 this morning.

TofuSushi|1.16.09 @ 9:19AM|

Wondering what came first. The meaning less wording or the stupid drawing.

|1.16.09 @ 9:26AM|

Massively weak. While I enjoy ripping on the Friday Funnies (since they deserve it), I must agree with joe here. Stupid is as stupid does.

|1.16.09 @ 9:33AM|

Looks like Payne's got a case of Bokkalism. When was the last time we got anything from Bagge?

Can't we do without the "Friday Funnies" and just link to the Onion instead?

Lefiti|1.16.09 @ 9:33AM|

Market fundamentalists avoid doing stuff on private sector crooks, don't they? What about Bernie Madoff, you sniveling zealots of confirmation bias fucks?

Bingo|1.16.09 @ 9:33AM|

It's not even a comic - its just some wording with a drawing attached to it. Neither one plays into the other.

JLM|1.16.09 @ 9:33AM|

Nothing seems to bring this group together like Friday funnies.

phalkor|1.16.09 @ 9:42AM|

why is it a picture of Gillespie? I don't get it.

TofuSushi|1.16.09 @ 9:46AM|

why is it a picture of Gillespie? I don't get it.

That is supposed to be a leather coat?

Warty|1.16.09 @ 10:12AM|

If I ever met Henry Payne, I would knee him in the balls.

Jay S.|1.16.09 @ 10:18AM|

I'm not laughing at yet another edition of Friday Fail.

|1.16.09 @ 10:19AM|

Lefiti's 9:33 comment is much, much funnier than this comic.

... you sniveling zealots of confirmation bias fucks C'mon, that's funny. Grammatical nonsense, but funny and evocative.

|1.16.09 @ 10:22AM|

Lefiti's like Kerouac sometimes.

You don't understand what he writes, so much as feel it.

|1.16.09 @ 10:26AM|

If I ever met Henry Payne, I would knee him in the balls.

He can retract them into his body like a ninja. All comic drawers can. Punch him in the throat instead.

|1.16.09 @ 10:27AM|

If that bumper sticker read "You sniveling zealots of confirmation bias fucks," this comic would have actually been funny.

Reinmoose|1.16.09 @ 10:39AM|

yeah - I got distracted, but I was going to say what joe said about how Leftiti is funnier than the commic.

I have plenty of laughs here every week, and none of them come from Friday Funnies... hmmm

|1.16.09 @ 10:51AM|

Punch him in the throat instead.

Stab him in the eye with your mechanical pencil.

Better yet, stab him in the eye with his mechanical pencil.

|1.16.09 @ 11:20AM|

Is this a paid gig?

I feel I could do better and I can't draw for shit.

EJM|1.16.09 @ 12:10PM|

Can't we do without the "Friday Funnies" and just link to the Onion instead?

Will do.

(The related story graphic alone is funnier than any "Friday Funnies" segment ever.)

|1.16.09 @ 4:03PM|

How about if the bumper sticker reads:

Become a Senator now!
Ask me how!

Taking off on the Herbalife slogan. (OK, it would have been funnier weeks ago, but it's still better....)

|1.16.09 @ 4:31PM|

Redo the cartoon, with quotes from the FBI tapes:

"Bleep you."

"Don't give those bleeping people bleep."

"Consideration? Bleep that!"

"Bleep it, I'll apoint (redacted.)"

Lefiti|1.16.09 @ 5:48PM|

Joe,

How is it grammatical nonsense? "Fucks" is a noun, you illiterate fuck.
