LMAO - awsome

I just used paint.

You are right. That’s not quite the name on my drivers license.

What do you mean about a version suitable for printing? You can print that.

I haven’t used paint since ‘96. Please tell me how you did that... I usually use Paint Shop Pro.

[Tramonto]

I just cut and pasted the newspaper onto the fish. I hate paint but its all I know.

[Number57]

Well the result was fantastic :)

FWIW, the NY Times and Washington Compost and their aging hippie liberal Woodstock reject writers aren’t even fit to wrap dead fish with.

It’s not even good enough to housebreak a Golden Retriever puppy.

Ha! The lipstick on Obama was quite an improvement. All those liberal women who look like men should try lipstick, too.

We don’t need to stoop to their level.

No one did. Their level is way way down the road from a simple cartoon. Perhaps you do not know of the vicious hateful nasty gutter talk comments made by the other side against Palin and McCain. Especially Palin.

This is about a clever cartoon that most people are enjoying.

Making too big a deal out of this makes us look petty

What is petty (being as you brought it up) is a couple of posters complaining about how bad, nasty and vicious this cartoon is.

This would go away sooner if the complaints stop.

200x320 pixels would be only 2" by 3.2" at 100dpi, and even 100dpi is pretty chunky.

I’m not liking this line of Freeper thinking at all. I like civility. When others lapse, it does not make me want to lapse in reply.

The cartoon is an insult and I’m not into that.

[Number57]

What cartoon, btw?

[wac3rd]

According to the Pork Industry, “it’s the other white meat” so isn’t Obama being racist?

[roadcat]

It is not nearly as bad as the ones of Bush we see all the time in the major papers.

Yeah, I always wondered about that. Bush has ears that lay close to his head, but they always make them big in comic depictions. Now the ears on Obama, they really are enormous and stick waay out from his head. They just make him look like a big dumb moose, ready for a takedown by Palin.

Obama just doesn't know what to say does he

[castlebrew]

... and ping on IBD about their distinct lack of spine while you’re at it. I did.
