Why would you want to use the suffering of Fritzl’s family as a topic for a cartoon?  Except to condemn the abuse they have suffered.  Unless you too find their torture and abuse somehow humorous.
Trivializing their suffering effectively endorses their abuse.

Much less mix the concept of accepting this kind of abuse as a means of selecting a Presidential Candidate.  Aren’t you too, using and abusing these people?

Last time I looked, the American public was doing a fairly good job of hounding sexual deviants and abusers out of high positions. We reject the abuser, you think he is amusing?

Put another way, your cartoon is disgusting.

When their is finally a debate we get George and Charlie, and have you worn your flag pin.

Was Bush/Chaney wearing their pin when war was declared because “weapons of mass destruction were found”.

Wow, bold statement to bring the Fritzl family into it…even if Austrians can’t vote in American primaries.  Overall, i’d say that the “lock your daughter in the basement to be a sex slave and bear your children demographic” might just be the next swing group that our politicians are looking for.  Let the pandering begin.

Classic shot of wolfie thinking he is bringing the real news and information to the public when he is just contributing to the veggetating of america. May as well be cutie couric standing there. Both just push their personalities and have nothing to do with real news in this country. Tolal lock step with the msm disinformation agenda.
