Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 17, 2020

At least he’s honest.

As politicians go, he’s no exception.

He seems like one of the politicians of my country that I “love” the most: Matteo Salvini. He often wear a green tie too .

“Everybody plays the fool; there’s no exception to the rule.” ~Cuba Gooding of The Main Ingredient (though I thought it was Aaron Neville)

He can’t be “your” politician unless he’s elected. Which clearly implies that being elected is the only thing that really matters. It is kind of refreshing to hear the truth from a politician though.

There is an exception to the exception … money under the table.

Weasly=…Connell?

Too accurate to be funny. It actually gives me a pain you know where!

Weasel words.

Telling you right up front he’s corrupt doesn’t sound weasely to me!

“I promise to be the best Senator money can buy.”

Don’t be too hard on him. ALL parties have a “get in line” policy for voting in the House of Commons, so as to retain power.

Here’s an idea. Once a person is elected, they never have to run for re-election. They DO, however, have to face the voters at the end of their term and (assuming they want another term), get 50+% of them to vote for him to have another term. Nobody to run against, no campaigning, no ads, no campaign contributions or fundraising — just their record and whether we like it or not. If more than 50% vote YES, then they stay. If more than 50% vote NO, then they are out at the end of the term, and an actual election is held (the incumbent would be ineligible to run).

He can’t be a politician. He’s too honest.

He got my vote!

I’m having a visceral reaction where I yearn to see this guy end up underneath a Goodyear tire.

Usually the exception would be in fine print.

Hope the Weasel stops at Larry Croc’s house next ! … Croc Power !

A weasel running for office? That’s nothing new.

So, you are telling us you will represent what the voters want?

Will there be a large drop in political comments a short time after the elections? Also there should be a 28th amendment, that no politician can use Twitter, Facebook, etc.

I’d like to donate to the McWeasely Committee for the Re-Election Of McWeasely SuperPAC. I, also, would like a permit to demolish the local orphanage and put up condos. We cool?

If we could overthrow citizens united, that would help take big money out of politics. Citizens united says that corporations are people. It tilted the playing field. That’s how big money became so influential in our elections and how our elected officials became more concerned about reelection rather than doing the job they were elected to do.

Vote ’em all out so we can get a whole new group of ##@$%^^^&$. And I mean that.

…and Mitch McConnell as the Weasel…..

Is the preference for a politician who will vote to make us do what he thinks is best for us, rather than not prevent us from doing what we think is best for us?

I’m sure I don’t have to repeat my comment from yesterday about term limits unless it is to say that these career politicians get re-elected not because they are serving the public, but because the public is lazy.

T E R M L I M I T S !!!!!!

I used to never believe in term limits. I always felt that the ballot box was the term limiter. Ah, the naivety of my youth as its painfully obvious that the system is pretty much rigged for the incumbents.

“All them politicians in Washington are crooks … ’cept of course, the ones I voted for!”

And so we see the sentiment behind “starve the beast” and “drain the swamp”.

“Whatsoever king may reign still I’ll be Vicar of Bray, sir.”

He’s very honest for guy named Senetor Weasel Mcweasly.

Red or Blue, it doesn’t matter. They are all the same crooks.

I want to see None of the Above on the ballot. And if none of the above wins, you have to start another election with different people.

It is painful to see so much cynicism here. It is as though nobody watched Adam Schiff’s daily summations at the impeachment hearings. I recommend viewing them, if you can. “They” are NOT “all the same”.

We have a horse and buggy system in a post industrial age.

So spot on

So it IS Trump after all!

Hey, at least Senator McWeasely is being honest!

The first person who came to mind for me was Shelia Jackson Lee. Her constituents consistently drink the Kool Aid and vote for her time after time, because she has managed to convince them that she actually cares about them.

look up Represent Us on Y’tube. They’ll show you how much we actually count

#VoteAnarchy2020 And, use a mail in ballot.

The only thing to admire about Senator McWeasely is his openness about his self-interest. Still, could “the other guy” be any better?

Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?

“That’s some exception, that exception.”

“It’s the best there is,”

This must have been drawn a while ago; Weasel McWeasly is now our President!
