Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 17, 2011

It’s all in the suit!

Thank you, Wiley. I’ve long wondered how they chose the morons for those cable “news” shows.

And I always thought Glenn Beck looked kinda feral.

So that’s how they got Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.

I’m starting to feel really sorry for modern comic strip writers. I’m sure they try to find things that can’t be construed as political commentary. Some readers just can’t seem to resist taking shots, I guess. I’m sorry, Wiley and others.

^’political commentary’ Patshah I was working as an Electronic Technican when a co-worker suggested I dress for sucess. Next thing I know I’m promoted to Electronic Engineer. Didn’t make my

any better, just more impressive.

It’s not the message, but the delivery that matters.

Flabba Bloba Blippidy! Bibbity Bobbidy Do!

(Can I get my own show too?)

Oh, I’m very sure that Wiley intended his comic to represent the selection process for conservative talking heads.

agreed….because knowing where the liberal talking heads and liberals in general originate would scare the h3ll out of us :)

And that’s how Rush Limbaugh got started.

Flabba bloba blibbidy?

A) Moses B) Jesus C) Mohammad D) All of the above

Heck, even my boss sounds like that sometimes…lol

I think this comic can be interpreted in any way the reader sees fit…republican pol, democrat pol, televangelist, pundit, CEO, newscaster… the options are endless and all equally possible.

Canadians are such nice, reasonable people. :)

(I live in Texas, where such things are considered a medical condition….)

^ That’s because you live in a third world country.

I’d say it looks more like a blogger. Who for some reason are being touted as experts in the news these days. “Hey this guy spouts off on a web site, he must know what he is talking about. Lets put him on the air.”

If the people so opposed to Limbaugh, Beck, et al would stop watching them in order to pick up sound bites for their diatribes, the ratings would fall far enough to have the programs canceled.

Bloggers, and their voices, rise as the media abdicates its responsibility for useful journalism—filling the void, often more adroitly than mainstream pundits. Actual reporting? Not so much anymore—no money in it.

That explains why Obama needs a teleprompter.

TheFinalSolution said: “That’s because you live in a third world country.”

Texas a third world country? Why, no. That would be Alabama. :)

OF COURSE! It’s all so clear to me now!

…bippity bobitty boo…

You had best be careful, TheFinalSolution. We “poor” Texans might just stop sending our oil your way. And if you are wondering if we can make that much of a difference, consider this (based on something I read several years ago). If Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisana joined OPEC, they would form the second largest producer, I think after Saudia Arabia. So that is how much oil (and money) we have in this “poor third world country” called Texas.

And SCAATY_423, you are absolutely correct about reasonableness being considered a medical condition in Texas. Just check out the Governer’s office and the legislature and you can be sure most of those folks are healthy and completely free of reason!

And as an interesting side note apropos of nothing, Texas is allowed to fly its state flag at the same height as the U.S. flag. This is in recognition of Texas once having been a sovereign nation unlike all the rest of the “lesser” 49 states. (Just some good-natured kidding, folks.)

Now we know where Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Charles Schumer, Barack Obama, Al Gore, Barbara Boxer, and the rest of the liberal slime that has poisoned our Country and twisted the minds of our youth came from.

talk about a twisted mind…methinks LW should turn off fox news and put away his glenn beck blankie…stat!

What makes you think the character is a pundit instead of a televangelist? I’m sure the mega-churches use similar systems to create their talking-heads.

Good point. In fact, I seem to recall quite a number of them claim to have had some very rough upbringings before some defining moment when they “came to Jesus” and began a ministry…

@ LeonardWatson

I’d rather be a liberal slime than a Conservative Scumbag!

Are there really fools out there so dumb that they think NOBODY else uses teleprompters?

Oh, dear… you really don’t watch Fox, do you?

I’m really tired of people trashing Keith Olbermann. Keith would criticize President Obama more in one week than the entire Fox News Channel criticized President Bush in 8 years.

This is how W got nominated…

After carefully considering his well crafted and deeply thought out message I have to reluctantly disagree. It seems as if some of his assumptions might be premature. Perhaps if he and I spoke at some length he would agree with me that FLARGWAPPY HOOCHAMEG BLUFFFERDY SQWAMAGORPHY BLAPBARF BLIBBIDY would be closer to the truth.

But that’s just me.

Ok I get how the unthinking masses and media lemmings were mentally brainwashed and programmed to vote for Obama. But how can anyone today look at the mess and laughing stock he has made of this country and still support him or even acknowledge that they were amongst the brainwashed masses that allowed him to sit in the big boy’s chair in the first place. Not only has he done more damage to this country and our global reputation than any other president in the history of the USA, but he continues to actually delude himself into thinking that he is right in doing so.

^ I’m outside now with my laptop. Is it alright to be grumpy now?

Mr. Watson, please meet me on Trafalger square. Bring a second if you wish.

Barnam was right, there is one born every minute

I for one read these comics on Gocomics, and put up with the popups and so on, for the delight of the commentary.

Although I live in Washington, I’m a born and bred Texan and was proud of it until Shrub put a dent into it - but then I should have known when the man had to be helped onto a horse.

Whatever happened to the call for civil discourse? “Scum” and “Slime” are so counterproductive, and add to the childish meanness.

I feel even MORE sorry for Wiley et al, and those of us who want to enjoy their good, thoughtful work.

Ah, now I know where Fox got Glenn and Rush.

And I wondered which rock they found that Bachmann woman under …

flabba bloba blibbidy = @#$%^&(!)%^&#&^%*$

Blasphemy! The Hokey Pokey is what it’s all about. He almost had me until he bought into panel 2.

And then there are the “low tech” prompters called hands. And let us not forget reagan’s 3 by 5 cards. PEACE

sounds like Ed Schultz to me…

Texas and California were not the only previously independent nations that became states. Hawaii was a Kingdom.

Radish, I think they’re reading my emails. My conservative friends think it’s a hoot to insult their lefty friends.

Holy cow, it’s Chris Matthews!

Vestis virum facit.

The problem is the morons in the electorate who thinks “Flabba bloba blibbidy” actually makes sense.

IThink that what children hear when they listen to adult

It could be an ugly Sara Palin.

Obama without his telepromprompter, Joe Biden WITH a teleprompter.
