And You Thought The Trouble Reference Was Dated
From our comments section yesterday:
I hope he sticks with this story line long enough to work in another "Winslow wasting money on dancing llamas" joke.

Ask and ye shall receive, John.
But there's a bonus! Not only does Stantis remind us that Winslow wasted $64 million in campaign finances on dancing llamas, but he also works in a slam on John Kerry! Of course it's Winslow who's using John Kerry as a punchline, which carries on the Scott Stantis tradition of not understanding his own characters. I can't wait for tomorrow, when Carmen points out that John McCain burned through all of his funds already and Mitt Romney is being forced to dip into his personal fortune to pay for his campaign. But I'm not going to hold my breath.
And if you think about it, this is actually Scott Stantis's most disgusting personal attack EVER. Um, didn't he just compare John Kerry's wife Teresa Heinz to a dog? This is one of those weasely insults where Stantis will say that he just meant that Kerry married into money (even though he had plenty of his own cash long before he married Heinz), but it's clear that he's using this as a cheap shot to call the woman a "rich pooch." You're a class act, Stantis - you've learned well at the feet of the all powerful Rush "Phony Soldiers" Limbaugh.
At least the drawing is a bit better today - except for Carmen's mouth in that first panel. WTF?

The joke would have worked if Winston had said "It worked for John McCain", and that would have been more in character.
Republican war-supporters and Bush lovers can marry into money, too! It's as easy to love a rich trophy second wife as a poor one.

Holy cow, I can't believe Stantis remembered that Winslow is a candidate who needs money. He even remembered the llamas. I have truly misjudged you, Scott.
