Mad Magazine

Post by Pudfark »

Count Mad Magazine as the first pop culture institution to target President Barack Obama's Taliban prisoner swap.

It's hard to imagine any other humorist in any other medium hitting back quite so hard in the days to come.

The magazine posted a fake movie advertisement for Trading Private Bergdahl, a takeoff on the Oscar-winning film Saving Private Ryan.

The one-sheet features five Taliban soldiers and President Obama with this kicker:
"They got five Taliban leaders. We got one deserting weasel."

By "took", do you mean "elected by the American people"?
Twice.

I would rather have "Marcell the Monkey" over that Communist piece of shit.
Billary ain't much better, but at least it is not Obama.

what's going to be funny, Res, is this: if these yahoos think Obama is a socialist, uncompromising zealot, they are in for a reality check in 2017. Hillary is still a moderate Dem on many things, but is left of Obama on some core issues(healthcare being one), and is NOT the compromiser he has tried/shown himself to be. She will take the overwhelming Congressional majority and Senate control she sweeps in with in 2016 and literally wrench change ASAP, and won't even give a nod to folks if they obstruct like they have with Obama. She will scorch earth in a way Obama never has shown the interest in doing....he succeeds in doing so merely due to hatred based largely on race.

Hillary is definitely more of a "my way or the highway" type.
What I think is funny is what if a Republican signs a deal with the Devil (if he hasn't already) and wins the White House.
Who will those two drooling rubes blame everything on for the next 4 years? :lol:
