Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 09, 2016

The way Stephan draws dogs makes them look like grizzly bears XD

For the right price, he’ll be anyone’s b`tch.

He will do anything for a Scoopy snack.

Normal senator attitude.

Just your average politician.

It’s been a long time since the term ethical and politician wasn’t the opening line for some comedians punch line.

The people we elect are OUR REPRESENTATIVES. That is, they ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF US. If we find them ignorant, venal, greedy, amoral, or stupid, we have no one to blame but ourselves. If you do not like the character of those who represent you at whatever level, don’t vote for them. Find, fund, volunteer/work for other candidates. Or run for office yourself.

I see a long career ahead for the senator.

When the republic started senators where chosen to look out for the state that they came from(State’s Rights)………….usually picked by each state’s legislature not a direct vote……………then the process was changed………..

Lawyers…..experts at money laundering.

Hmmm… maybe putting the power treats on the shelf nearest to the grubby toddler hands wasn’t a good idea.It was a GREAT IDEA!There is no way grown adults would allow their toddlers to have access to power treats unless they grab them themselves and the adults get stuck paying for them.Very low eye level, very narrow channel to negotiate and filthy grabbing hands make for increased sales.

Sadly, this is the normal ethical standard for most of our politicians. A good first step to cleaning up this cesspool would be legislation to negate that “money is speech” decision by the Supremes. Of course, anyone who believes that will ever happen is terminally naive.

And cheap too.

Our system of government in a nutshell. :P

One ear is suspended, the other’s hanging down…why?

Hillary, eh?

Senator Bow Wow’s ethics aren’t questionable…they’re buyable. Politics since Day One. What’s happening in D.C. today is hardly new, but its’ openness is. Everyone knows how venal these people are, but we keep re-electing them. Liverlips is right: Voters are idiots.

Drawing a corrupt USofA Senator as a canine is very demeaning & very unfair…TO THE DOGS!!

Our ethics are questionable

Placing so much power at so low a level, rather than having it rest beyond the reach of collective interests, in the hands of the people themselves, can only result in it being pilfered and adulterated and sold to the highest bidder.

Senator Bow Wow must be a Democrat…

Who is that mysterious disembodied hand offering Senator Bow Wow the bribe? Who is the real shadow gummymint? What difference, now, does it make?

Come on now. What dog can resist doggy treats?

I think it’s actually ‘speech’, but I could easily be wrong. Also, isn’t $400,000 a bit high? More like $50,000 which is really shameful for a former politician to charge. They didn’t do a darn thing while in office and they think I’m paying more than $5.00 to hear them talk some more? No way.

Typical politician. Especially certain politicians.

I figured that was Rat handing off the treats. But, surprisingly, it doesn’t look to be him …

Must be a Michigan Senator.

this is one of the best so far this year, the drawing and everything is so bloody funny !

I only have one question. How does a dog become a senator? Who takes him for walkies and scoops his poop?
