    But a proctological exam is _always_ funny, didn’t you know?

    Yep, and it’s a proctological exam on an elephant too! That just adds to the humor… doesn’t it?

    And there’s an ass! Two asses, come to think about it…

    Well, the Elephant is the editorial symbol of the Republican Party and the Ass is the equivalent symbol of the Democratic Party. So, apparently, the Democrats are about to “stick it” to the Republicans… where the sun don’t shine. That’s the only “political” message I can see in this ‘toon.

    The elephant just turned 50?
    The elephant is going to be walking funny for the rest of the day?
    The Democratic party is about to help the Republican party and the Republicans know it, even if it is going to be an invasion of their privacy?
    The Democrats passed the health care bill, and it was an invasive procedure on the Republicans?
    Donkeys have fingers?
    The polka-dot gown was embarrassing enough … and you KNOW it didn’t cover the rear?
    The Democratic party REALLY needs to get some artwork for their offices?
    The Republican party really needs to get some artwork for their orifices?

    If only …….

    The Republicans aren’t going to like it, but the Democrats are going to give them health care (reform) for their own good.

    When the Democrats discover that the Republicans have cancer, the Republicans will blame it on the Democrats. “I was fine until I had that exam!”

    The Democrats are about to palpate the prostate of the Republicans. Aren’t jokes about butts and poo always hilarious? Do they need to make some kind of sense too?

    The Democrats aren’t going to “give” the Republicans anything. They are going to force Obama Care down their throats – and beyond - as that is the only way they can get access to their wallets.

    The Land of the Free is going to take on a whole new meaning.

    Dems are choosing their policies by digging through Republican shit?

  11. Powers Jun 29th 2010 at 10:24 am 11

    Why are people against Obama’s healthcare proposals so fixated on things being shoved down throats? It’s kinda creepy.

  12. mitch4 Jun 29th 2010 at 11:25 am 12

    Second the notion of Representative Powers!

    (And we can see from the picture that “down” and “throat” are not the locus of concern about shoving anyway!)

    It’s a Michael Jackson joke - can’t you see he’s only got one glove?

  14. labradog Jun 29th 2010 at 12:31 pm 14

    Powers, Republicans are fixated on violent sodomy metaphors, as it’s the only “acceptable” way for them to enjoy teh gay.

    To me, it is obvious a Demo…

    (This comment has been interrupted due to its’ lack of political sensitivity. We now join Adventures at Dr. Doolittle’s clinic in progress.)

    …at last the exam was finished. Dr. Donkey spoke to Ernie Elephant saying: “Weren’t you even a little suspicious that Ronnie Rhino has so many gerbil friends?” Ernie, his eyes looking at the floor all the while, replied: “Well, he said it was only…”

    (I apologize, but I must again interrupt. This will not do. No. No sir. Talk amongst yourselves while I find a decent comment.)

    “It was a proctological exam he would never forget.

    Of course, as an elephant, they all were. But, still….”

    Well, and then there’s this: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/spy-talk/2010/06/blackwaters_prince_congress_ga.html … but that doesn’t quite exactly line up.

    This looks like the work of Barry Blitt, who did the one with the animals presiding over a hearing that Bill titled “I Swear This Confuses Me”.
    It’s obvious: the democrats think the republicans are ailing and they want to help them recover so they can continue to make the American people think there are two opposing parties, and both aren’t in the pocket of rich crooks.
    Or it’s that men should lose weight and get checked for prostate cancer. By a donkey.

  19. Jeff S. Jun 29th 2010 at 05:28 pm 19

    It’s an ass checking the ass of another ass.

  20. George Jun 29th 2010 at 06:27 pm 20

    I find it disturbing that the donkey is winking.

  21. fromm Jun 29th 2010 at 08:45 pm 21

    donkey hopes the roles will not be reversed very soon
