Peanut and Achmed are in trouble. . .

I’m playing catch-up here so please forgive me.

The amazingly funny Jeff Dunham has some new competition it seems.  And as a diehard fan of the Matrix movies I love the shout out.

For those who don’t know; Jeff Dunham is a ventriloquist, Peanut and Achmed are two of his characters.  Whenever he’s on the comedy channel you HAVE to see his show.  And if you can catch it live even better.

So why bring up Jeff Dunham? Because in the spirit of Thomas Nast (the man who brought down Tammany Hall) I think the Arizona Daily Independent hit the nail on the head.

Think about it.  Go get the state and federal election reports and look up who the donors are (follow the money) for both the state party and the politicians.

It’s just a Great Cartoon.

Remember as Boss Tweed once said, “I don’t care what they write, my people can’t read.  But those damn cartoons are forever”.  OK, he may have said something like that (I’m working from memory here).

I leave you for now with one of the classics that brought down the corruption that poisoned the party:
