  1. Lord Humungus   14 years ago

    worst. evar.

    1. *   14 years ago

      Can we see Chip Bok in Rick Santorum?

    2. Bucky   14 years ago

      what? no war on women funnies?

  2. Fist of Etiquette   14 years ago

    Why is that old guy robbing Tom Hanks with a clipboard?

    1. Ska   14 years ago

      He's a dentist and cleanings for horse teeth are expensive.

    2. PS   14 years ago

      That old guy is a state official. My question is why he isn't backed up by a SWAT team?

      1. MNG   14 years ago

        They're there, they are just well-hidden and training their tasers on Santorum and their guns on Rick's dog. Standard operating procedure for failure to produce correct paperwork....

      2. Fist of Etiquette   14 years ago

        So the armpit inspector is covering the tooth inspector's shift today? Or is it the other way around?

        Anyway, this is a biting indictment of what's coming with Obamacare.

      3. darius404   14 years ago

        They're obviously in a stand-off with Santorum's Secret Service personnel.

  3. Bee Tagger   14 years ago

    I'm glad they went with Jason Alexander for George Constanza rather than this white-haired guy.

  4. WTF   14 years ago

    Why are there flies buzzing around his hands? Is it teh santorum?

    1. db   14 years ago

      Glitter.

    2. Ice Nine   14 years ago

      Trying to escape his armpits.

  5. rather fart in a jar   14 years ago

    Who wants to fart in a jar? Save energy, fart in a jar.

  6. Fatty Bolger   14 years ago

    In case you don't know WTF Bok is alluding to (I had to look it up):

    Why Rick Santorum's Ohio Delegate Fiasco Could Get Messy

    1. MNG   14 years ago

      Thanks FB for posting this. Wow, I guess the guy does deserve to be criticized, I mean, he couldn't find a handful of people willing to be delegates and get the paperwork? I'm not sure that can be totally dismissed by his relative lack of money/org...

    2. John   14 years ago

      How can a national campaign be that incompetent? That is just astounding.

  7. invisible furry hand   14 years ago

    Richard Nixon's bastard son displays full confidence in his deodorant while elderly degenerate tries to sniff his pheromones. Chip, I misunderestimated you, you sick fuck

    1. Bobarian   14 years ago

      Everybody 'misunderestimates' the Bok.

      By definition, it is unpossible to underestimate him.

  8. Dekedin   14 years ago

    This reminds me of The Enigma Of Amigara Fault.

    1. Dekedin   14 years ago

      Why?
      http://justmegawatt.com/images.....lt/32.html

      1. Ice Nine   14 years ago

        Good question.

  9. Comcast Sucks (Coxswain Hardy)   14 years ago

    Bok sucks harder than Comcast.

    1. Fatty Bolger   14 years ago

      Now that's harsh.

  10. MNG   14 years ago

    I don't know if it is fair to read too much into Santorum's failure to make the ballot in places, the guy had a lot, lot, lot, less money, and hence organization, than Romney did, and for that matter than Paul did, for a long time.

  11. Nathan   14 years ago

    It is amazing that these things keep happening. I mean, if you can't do paperwork how can you be President.

    1. Barrama   14 years ago

      I totally agree. A guy like that could never be counted on to produce a budget on time.

  12. MNG   14 years ago

    What is up with drawing a pronounced nose on Santorum? One of Santorum's distinct features is a nose that looks like it's had much of its skin grafted from it. It's like the artist said "well, caricatures exagerrate features, so even in this case where the distinctness of the subject lies in having an almost absurdly thin nose I'll stick to the cannon and give him a pronounced one!"

    1. JLM   14 years ago

      I think your expectations for Friday Funnies are a little too high.

      1. MNG   14 years ago

        I refuse to accept the soft bigotry of low Friday Funny expectations.

        1. JLM   14 years ago

          I consider "good" friday funnies to be the ones that don't cause nausea. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to clean the vomit off my desk.

    2. Ska   14 years ago

      He managed to make Santorum look like Chuck Schumer.

      Worst hybrid of all time.

      1. MNG   14 years ago

        Nah, no boobs.

        1. Ska   14 years ago

          I thought the sweater vest was to hold them down.

          1. MNG   14 years ago

            If you think you can hold down Chuck Schumer's boobs I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Well, if chuck hasn't passed a law about it yet....

      2. JLM   14 years ago

        James Woods is the first name that popped in my head when I saw it.

    3. PS   14 years ago

      Clearly he was othering Santorum.

  13. Tim   14 years ago

    Hilarious.

  14. Brian from Texas   14 years ago

    The 'Santorum" in this picture looks more like a grocery store employee.

    1. NoStar   14 years ago

      That because th real life Santorum looks like a grocery store employee.

  15. Fluffy   14 years ago

    Santorum didn't set up for Ohio because he didn't expect to make it to Ohio.

    He should have been out after Iowa.

    Lightning struck and he was the last socon standing. I bet no one was more surprised than him.

    1. MNG   14 years ago

      Santorum's success further stokes my anger at the early debates excluding Johnson. I concede at the time Johnson's polling support was negligble, but so was Santorum's, and look where he went after people got a chance to hear more from him.

      1. Brian from Texas   14 years ago

        I hear you there. Gary Johnson happens to be my second choice after Ron Paul. I don't like any of the other GOP candidates.

      2. Auric Demonocles   14 years ago

        Wasn't Johnson at one point polling higher than someone they let in (like maybe 2% compared to 1%)?

  16. Fluffy   14 years ago

    Santorum is probably hard to caricature.

    Maybe you could dress him up as a bishop or something? I don't know.

    1. John   14 years ago

      Put him in a monk's habit and give him a tonsure.

      1. Ice Nine   14 years ago

        I was thinking of the Church Lady.

        1. John   14 years ago

          The Church lady was an evangelical. I doubt she had much use for the Catholics.

  17. MNG   14 years ago

    "The Grzybs were the divorced parents of a 3-year-old girl, with "joint legal custody of the child, which implicitly included joint decision-making regarding the child's medical and health care." The father wanted the daughter immunized, but the mother had a religious objection to the immunization

    The court concludes that (1) getting immunized would indeed be in the child's best interests...But the court also observed that (2) the mother was more actively involved in the child's medical care...And on balance the mother was therefore "in a superior position to assess and meet her child's medical needs," and should be awarded sole custody for purposes of making medical decisions"

    http://volokh.com/2012/03/08/c.....more-56752

    1. Night Elf Mohawk   14 years ago

      They had to pick one parent or the other to make the decisions.

      1. MNG   14 years ago

        I wouldn't want the government to impose its idea of best interests on parents, but when parents are deadlocked I think it's ok to then use a best interests determination to break the deadlock. This is just courts siding with mothers over fathers, an all too common and lamentable trend imo.

        1. Night Elf Mohawk   14 years ago

          The deck is stacked against fathers, but if the mother really was more involved in the child's medical care then I think this is the right decision unless not wanting immunizations is going to create a presumption of incompetence.

  18. GILMORE   14 years ago

    I said before that the only good thing about 'super tuesday' would be that no one talks about Santorum anymore.

    SO FUCK THIS

  19. sarcasmic   14 years ago

    Why is Tom Hanks wearing a vest?

    1. Barrama   14 years ago

      snipers

    2. Barrama   14 years ago

      his job as a butcher

    3. Sparky   14 years ago

      I think his tailor Ernest Borgnine just wanted to see how it looked on him.

  20. NotSure   14 years ago

    The artist has outdone himself yet again, if he gets any funnier he will cause a rip in the time space continuum and end the universe.

  21. Ice Nine   14 years ago

    When Bok caricatures Krugman does he conversely give him Santorum eyes?

  22. Carbman Jones   14 years ago

    Sounds like a very good plan to me man, I like the sound of that.

    http://www.Done-Anon.tk

  23. Mike   14 years ago

    I ban for puns

  24. Almanian   14 years ago

    Jerry Seinfeld looks terrible

  25. BeEtLjOoZ   14 years ago

    I keep expecting this to happen every time I see Santorum...
