This stuff doesn’t horrify me anymore. Like someone who’s worked at an insane asylum for years, I don’t feel horrified anymore by the craziness.
Speaking of those heads, by the way, if you haven’t watched John Adams, give it a whirl. It has a large helping of factual boo-boos, but when you see Jefferson, Washington, Adams, and Franklin on screen, perfectly portrayed, it’s offers a sort of bliss to the patriot. It’s like what a vodka lover long (and forever more) on the wagon feels when he watches beautiful vodka martini being prepared by an excellent bartender in a posh joint. He can’t drink it, but he sure doesn’t mind sitting there for a while and watching it.
Ahhh…puts me in mind of a Vodkapundit post from several years ago. I don’t remember what he was drunkblogging, but I clearly remember it involved waking up early in the morning and mixing martini’s in a bathrobe before even the morning coffee and…yeah, I don’t drink anymore either.
I’d almost support it just for the cognitive dissonance it would create in those who think it’s deserved, but also a horrible desecration of a sacred Native American mountain.
Getting a new head added to Mt. Rushmore would likely take generations to get through the Bureau of Indian Affairs (or whatever their current name is) plus the environmental impact statements.
Hardly surprising, I’ve seen a few brilliant political cartoons over the years, but a vast majority are ignorant, simplistic, clumsily pretending to sophistication.
Penguin (?) obviously knows nothing of the values or accomplishments of the other heads on that mountainside. Which makes him normal for his field.

Having Obama be saying “You’re welcome” would have summed it up perfectly.
That cost me my breakfast…
His head should be bigger. Ears, too.
Chin a lil’ higher
Plus “thank you” is wrong responce, should be: I am the Greatest, who are you guy’s.
Reminds me of a joke, an oldie but goodie by now.
“What do you get in America for running a profitable, successful car company?”
“Taxpayer-funded competition.”
Is this some kind of post-historic irony, or what?
