Every once in a while, even an editorial cartoonist needs to give credit where credit is due….

It is an anomaly worthy of note! I do hope that there are some honest candidates looking to fill the vacuum – dare I hope for honest AND diverse? You should run as the ‘no sordid sleazery’ guy!

“No sordid sleazery” sounds like a Mooreism, well done! Maybe we need to make some t-shirts.

Well, sure, four white guys (but Levin is Jewish, so there’s your diversity). Actually I noted that myself. In one sketch, I had my floating head saying wistfully, “At least I’ll always have Kwame.” But the “4 white guys = good” and “1 black guy = bad” easily didn’t pass the racism smell test.
“A Mooreism” is both one of the best compliments I’ve ever received (being compared to something the extraordinary author Christopher Moore might have written) and a catchy name for achieving extreme passion within a loving relationship (“I’m having amoreism!). Either way, let’s make t-shirts!
