Today Tinsley/Mallard asserts
An unidentified woman claims she's NEVER had an affair with the President

Today's cartoon is either trying to make fun of the way the fundie's1 are habitually slandering the President by claiming that he "sleeps" with every woman he meets. Or else he also agrees with this idiotic and patently offensive viewpoint.

If Tinsley is trying to say that he is sick of desperate imbeciles who hate our President and will do and say anything to get rid of him, then Man, I hear you Mallard!. I doubt this was his point, since I have never seen any of his cartoons that defend President Clinton (or his wife).

It seems more likely that Tinsley is implying that it would be a major news story (worthy of the "special report" mentioned in the cartoon's first panel) if a woman could be found who hadn't licked the President's "lolly."

Follow me on this point. If the author is claiming that there is just one woman the President hasn't had his way with, who is it? His (Tinsley's) mother, his sister or his wife? (choose just one, because that's what the cartoon is implying)

Actually, if you take Tinsley's opinion at face-value, the President must surely have God-like powers. 125,000,000 women in America (half the population) and let's say that at least three-fourths are over 18. That leaves 93,750,000 available women. Subtract the one that "alleges" she NEVER had an affair with Mr. Clinton and that leaves 93,749,999 women. Assuming he spent just 30 seconds "servicing" each constituent, that would require almost 90 years! Sure makes ol' Ben Franklin look like a slacker.

Dan, why are you picking on this dim-witted duck anyway?
