TOON: Bush offering freedom and democracy to Jesus

[yurbud]

From Harper's.

I didn't get what he was doing with the hammer at first--he's offering it to Jesus to drive his own nails.

That does seem to be the Bush, neocon and even neoliberal idea of democracy--screw yourself so we don't have to.

1. I took it that ...

he was offering the hammer to allow JC to pull out his own nails, to gain his own freedom - to pull himself up by his own bootstraps, as it were. You know, like George W himself had to do.

2. making the degenerate dauphin a centurian was being generous

he'd be in a toga, passed out on a litter carried by four bald guys.

[shenmue]

3. Roman imperialism

It also means that B*** and his fake 'Christian' cohorts don't care a thing about the real Jesus, and would kill him if they had the chance.

[Trevelyan]

4. Very Sad, Very true. eom

[Kailassa]

5. I'm saving this,

and sending it to everybody I know.

6. Bush's style of liberating - sending them to heaven
