It's Just Like Hart/Austin '97 - NOT
Yup, he's going there.
Like an intrepid child dipping his toes into the deep end of the pool and then jumping off the edge without knowing how to swim, Scott Stantis is finally going to tackle the wars we're fighting in the Middle East. And, much like Bush's war efforts, it's already and unmitigated disaster.
As CJo pointed out yesterday, it doesn't make any sense for Winslow the anti-war liberal to be the one enlisting. I mean, it's not like he's autistic and doesn't know any better.
Today Stantis puts away the spoon and gets out the shovel to shove more of his crap down our gullets. He talks about how the coyotes will invade the hamsters (is he allowed to use that word "invade?") and how they'll be treated as liberators. Yup, he's referencing Cheney AND Rumsfeld. But who's questioning his rosy outlook? Carmen. NEO-CON TOT CARMEN. Even when Winslow misquotes the famous "chocolates and flowers" line it's Carmen who doubts his plan of attack. She then thinks to herself that he should be careful they don't blow Winslow up too much instead of greating him as a liberator.
Once again we get the whole "if the Administration does something I don't like NOW (because we all know Stantis was a big cheerleader for the war, much like Carmen at the time) then Winslow will be the one doing it so I can get on my high horse and make fun of him."
But is there something else going on here? Using a pro wrestling (or, if you prefer, sports entertainment) term, is he pulling a "double turn?" This might be the week that we see Stantis turn Carmen into a moderate Democrat and Winslow a red-blooded neo-con, so he can make that formerly silly stinky stupid Winslow into the butt of all of his jokes - since the Republicans are the ones that are pissing him off. It's a ballsy move, but sadly Stantis doesn't have the muchos...juevos grandes to pull it off.
So for those of you reading at home, Carmen objected to us invading Afghanistan and Iraq because she knows we wouldn't have been greeted as liberators and they would instead attack us like we're the enemy. Winslow on the other hand was one of the greatest cheerleaders to go to war, so much so that he enlisted to fight the "extremists" (Al Qaeda) who obviously had ties to Saddam - who had ties to 9/11.
Fuck you, Stantis.
Comments
So let me get this straight:
When this "funny" started, Carmen was a neo-con, and she was a gal of color just to mess with our notions of what conservatives look like. Winslow was the liberal coyote.
Last week, we learned that Winslow wasn't like the other coyotes, Stantis just wanted to mess with our notions of what coyotes are.
Today, we learned that Winslow, the not-like-the-others coyote, is a neo-con, and that Carmen is the liberal gal of color.
Wow! So much character development over two years!

All part of Scott's anti-coyote agenta? Now poor Winslow has just become his creator's punching bag...
I don't want to have him do a "Calivin piss" on a donkey now. Who wants to see that? No one, that's who.
