This Is No Time For Joking! We're In Prickly City!
The Gang's All Here: Rumsfeld, Ford, and Cheney (1975)
Carmen is all sensitive and serious today as the Gerald R. Ford tribute continues. But leave it up to the callous, insensitive liberal Winslow to mess things up with a cruel joke about Republicans. Yes Winslow, haven't you learned anything about respect for the dead from your creator Scott Stantis? You're only allowed to make cruel jokes about the dead and dying if they're the husbands of Supreme Court justices or Terri Schiavo.
It's great to see Stantis paying tribute to one of his Republican idols. I know it must be hard to him after devoting so much of Prickly City to the words and wisdom of Gerry Ford over the years, constantly referring to him as the ideal Republican and the person that conservatives should model themselves after in light of what Bush has done to the country.
Oh, wait - you mean Stantis has NEVER mentioned Gerald Ford in Prickly City before? You mean this whole earnest salute to the man that pardoned Nixon is a shameful exploitation of his death so Carmen can be all serious and Winslow the clown? Say it ain't so!
I love the line "Give it a rest, Winslow." As if it's the liberal in Prickly City who's constantly ridiculing the Republicans. The only time Stantis gives Winslow the joke is when it's about a deceased President. Nice job, Stantis.
So do you think next week Stantis will bring up that Ford opposed Bush's invasion of Iraq and the escalation of the war Bush is going to announce tomorrow night? Will Stantis pay heed to the guidance of the good and decent man that Carmen apparently thinks, like the rest of the media, was the Greatest President in the History of the World because he gave Nixon a free pass for doing half the stuff Bush is accused of doing? Doubtful. By then he'll be talking about Saddam's death and letting Carmen get all of the punchlines. Because that's how Stantis rolls.
