Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 09, 2012

Vice-Pressydent, AGAIN?

sounds like a similar method to how they would find witches, dunk them in water if they float they are witches if they sink … well god forgives them their sins. Monte Python had a good work around though … ducks float… so compare them to the weight of a duck … and hope the scales honest.

He’d be a pretty good Vice Pressydent.

Larry can relax. Newt never had any chance of nomination. Not now nor ever. Permeated with corruption.Although it would be interesting to know if he does have gills.

How about we limit the candidates to people too smart to run for the office?

Well Larry would be better than Bush Jr. I mean that guy was so dumb he thought he was the vice president and did what ever Cheney said.

The two party system is a farce. It should only exist if non-twin siblings have the same birth date.

I think Larry should move to the top of the GOP candidate list, shows remarkable intelligence.

Larry’s interest in politics is admirable, though his literary skills are less than minimal. He’d make a good vice-pressydent, though, since the duties thereof are as minimal as can be.

I’m pretty sure that amphibians only have gills during the juvenile stage, not as adults.

People who wants to president so much that they will spend two years and a hundred million dollars on it, is not to be trusted with the office.

You not VP mateerial, Larry. Sorry, you no got birth certeeficate.

At least our current president acts like an adult. Daring to talk about, what amounts to almost a necessity, increasing taxes a little, shows he is brave and is willing to do what’s right, even if it’s not popular. That’s exactly the kind of person we need in the office. And we have him now. Lets not screw things up. Republicans have revealed candidates with, dangerous ideas and weaknesses, (like wanting to start a war in Iran!). Best if we keep them as far away from the office as possible…

Yeppers, we wouldnt want a president that irresponsibly runs the highest deficits in history every yr, plus has us in 3 wars at once. No sir, we dont need no guy like that!!

I almost hate to bring this back up, but I just saw an ad for Arby’s Reuben Sandwich. I know Stephen can get a Reuben there… Arrrggh, now I’ll always think of Stephen Pastis and Reuben sandwiches together!

Larry’s a coldblooded reptile, so he’s already more charming than Romney. He’s a vicious carnivore, so he’s more compassionate than Santorum.

LARRY FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

If the GOPers knew what’s up they would nominate Dan Quayle for President. Why go for imitation doofuses when you can have the original?

Does anyone get the connection to Dan Quayle? Larry about the same mental giant.

Unfortunately, there are really some smart people among the Repubs, even among the Neo Confederates…they’re not really conservative at all.

And the smart ones are sitting this one out…because they KNOW that the economy…which THEY caused…has a few hiccups left…they DON’T want to be in office to answer all that corruption…

Larry thinks at the level of the typical Teapublican. This is one of the reasons for the deficiencies of the Teapublican field of presidential candidates.

AMEN! IF THIS IS THE BEST THAT THEY’VE GOT THEN WE REALLY NEED TO ABOLISH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND COME UP WITH SOMETHING BETTER! A LOT BETTER! (Poor Abe must be spinnin’ in his grave!)

Remember, the cause of poverty is that “peoples lack money.”

You know, if someone would actually cry out “Where are your gills, Newt?” at one of his outings, it would improve his chances at the convention.

You guys can stop arguing politics now. I’m voting for whoever Zeeba endorses. (Because Zeeba was nice to the killer whale — he didn’t know the meatloaf had a bomb.)

Didn’t Larry serve as vice pressydent of a kid’s club a while ago? That did not end well, as I recall.

Newt may be an amphibian but Willard (Romney’s real 1st name, talk about elitist) is a rat.

If you vote for the lesser of two evils, you are still voting for evil. I stopped voting for D’s and R’s years ago. Mainly Socialist and Green Party candidates these days.

VOTE LARRY! Used to vote for Oat Willy and get a free pizza. (Zap mag ’60’s)

Romney is worse than a rat! rats are somewhat charming. Mitts is a snake. A wealthy 1% snake who has cheated and lied too much.Newt would be better than the crackpot Santorum. He wants to ban birth control, make tons more babies on welfare, which he will refuse to support in his USA theocracy..

Here’s a suggestion: Have all the candidates limit their speeches to the time during which they can hold their breath underwater, and have them prove it. Example: If Newt gives a 4-minute speech, he then has to hold his head underwater for 4 minutes.This could cut down the amount of buzzwords and mindless rhetoric significantly.

I favor running the experiment. If he drowns, Romney is indicted for murder and we’re rid of both of them.

Ugh. Newts DON’T breathe underwater!

IMHO surprised SP getting this political.Witness DB…And that has not gone well…respect wise anyway.

Awwwww, everyone picking on Newt, the last guy to balance the budget.

Larry for POTUS!

I hope this arc is over, PBS is one of my favorites, but I hate this political slamming!

You forgot your sarcasm tag.

What floats? Wood! Bridges! Small rocks. A DUCK!

Hey, I can breathe underwater! At least according to my mortgage.

i actually get this one…. wow

…and Santorum will clinch the nomination! :-)

I’m with the swamp rat.

My parents voted for Romney…
