Drooly Julie and Jeff Gannon... they go together like peas and carrots. Or something. It crossed my mind that the strip might have been more timely a week or two ago, but since the mainstream media refuses to maintain any interest in this scandal, I say it's ALWAYS Gannon time.

Now, before anyone accuses me of suggesting in the cartoon that gays are perverts -- since crying homophobia has been the standard (and oh-so-ironic) right-wing line whenever progressives bring up Gannon -- let me just state that Gannon's homosexuality is NOT the issue (except in reference to his hypocritical gay-bashing). I have reviewed the Gannon sites in the name of staid academic research, and I submit that posting multiple photos of oneself urinating, from various angles, on the internet does actually qualify one as a bit of a perv. Not to mention all the other fleshy pics -- as Drooly says, "Holy beefcake, Batman!"

You know, I used to think Bush admin scandals were ignored by the media because they're always slightly complicated, difficult to translate into video, and lacking the poontang factor (see "How the Media Works" cartoon). But here we have a bona fide scandal involving a conservative prostitute! Uncanny how the MSM chose this particular moment to shy away from a sex story.
