Spearing the 'spoon
Apparently Winslow's love affairs with Shelly the Turtle and Conde Rice are over - he's out to get Reese Witherspoon and Britney Spears now. I guess he has a thing for single moms.
So instead of a week of hard-hitting political commentary tackling Donald Rumsfeld's "resignation" (I like to think of it as a forced retirement - forced by the American people tired of his incompetence), we'll get yet another week of Stantis making fun of pop culture. Man, you know it must be bad in the Republican Stantis household when he would rather talk about Britney's snooch than Democrats.
I really wish Stantis wasn't writing this week's strips, because another comic writer might actually get Winslow out of the desert and have him venture into the L.A. nightclub scene to hook up with the blond bombshells. He could be seduced by Paris Hilton AND Linsay Lohan at the same time while Britney watches - and Reese shoots the video! Nope, we'll get Winslow standing in the desert telling Carmen how much he wants both of them, and Carmen will be the voice of reason saying he has no chance. Ugh.
It's as if Stantis can't bring himself to actually criticize the Republicans more than once every few weeks. What's the problem, Mr. "Conservative?" I thought you weren't a Republican - you just wanted what's best for America? Besides, these guys aren't Republicans - they're Republicrats, right? If you had any balls, you'd be spending just as much time slamming Rumsfeld and George Felix Allen Jr. and Conrad Burns as much as you focused on beating up Nancy Pelosi. But no, we see your true colors shining through.
Hey, is Cyndi Lauper single?
