Head up BP's ass

If you for some odd reason still need to see more of a certain common type of conservative stupidity heavily leavened with hypocrisy, you can seldom go wrong with the flagrantly doctrinaire and unfunny cartoons of Chuck Asay. Here is today's.

In one cartoon, Asay - his head firmly in place in BP's ass - tries all of the following:

• lets BP off the hook for the worst oil spill in history
• evades every claim conservatives have ever made to be the party of personal responsibility
• fails utterly to understand that competitive price pressures of the market should exact a profit penalty from BP - under the conservative theory of the market
• imputes to liberals his own failing - stupidity
