Distortion
Stantis finally gets around to making fun of the whole "terrorist fist jab" silliness that happened the day after Obama became the Democratic nominee. Not surprisingly when Winslow says he wants to take an ax to the media man he fails to make the more obvious joke, which is "Well it's good to see Fox News' E.D. Hill has a new job, covering my sorry campaign."
Actually this strip ends up being more timely than Stantis could have imagined. Over the weekend on "Face the Nation" host Bob Schieffer asked Gen. Wes Clark if he thought that being a pilot and getting shot down qualified John McCain to be president, and Clark said no. But that's not how the media is portraying it. No, according to them Clark attacked McCain and said all sorts of nasty things, which makes Clark a traitor who hates the military. A four star general who hates the military. Luckily there are some real veterans who are responding to this nonsense, but the mainstream media won't have any of that. They're much more content with taking Clark's words out of context and ignoring that he was just saying Schieffer's words back to him. Too bad Clark didn't just say, "No, I don't" and leave it at that - kinda hard to make a soundbyte that paints him as a traitor with that.
I'm all for Stantis going after the media. Unfortunately, most times he's just as bad as they are. And less funny too.

Wes Clark is an evil evil man. He started the Iraq War by shooting Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo, forever tarnishing my memories of Torvill and Dean.
