I used to wonder the same as Hank. Why would you bother even running for office if you couldn’t use your political position to get all of the underhanded perks that should automatically come with the job? If I was president, they darned well better have a few Monica Lewinskys on the payroll.





Meh. I do not see the big deal about this comic… it's not that special.
Sorry you missed it, but let me transfer you to the correct department which handles this sort of thing: http://tinyurl.com/mhccyy
I've always thought you were special George … in a "Corky from Life Goes On" kind of way!
Politics is just like any other career. Why do we tolerate CEOs and celebrities earning big paychecks, sleeping around and living flashily, but expect our politicians to be clean, exemplary and poor? It's ridiculous… as long as they're doing a good job, they should get all the extra perks too.
With such a high-stress level occupation, you'd need some extra gratification sometimes, wouldn't ya?
Here in Detroit we have removed two high ranking officials for both of these in the last year. That's why we're number 1!
Y'all reel 'em in and kick 'em out, huh?
Politicians need to realize that they just can't get away with the same things in the 21st century that they used to. Somebody's always out there waiting to catch 'em in the act.
You get all up in that 4th walla and make passionate love to it George.
I'm holdin' it and caressin' it so fine, Matt. It loves me.
My feeling was on Clinton that I was sure happy the man with his finger on the button was getting tension release somehow.
Exactly. You have to expect them to need some sort of stress relief. Runnin' thangs is a huge reponsibility.
Imagine a campaign ad for Hank! (I'm Hank, and I approve this message)!:)
Who knows? Hank may be running for prez in 2012.
If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I want the Swedish bikini team and bags of money
And you would most certainly deserve those if you have to put up with a bunch of mundane meetings, rigorous daily scheduling, baby kissing, and palm pressing.
Who said anything about attending meetings? I'd be way too busy counting money and entertaining the bikini team
I respect a dude who has his priorities straight. You've got MY vote, playa!
Nice title on today's post! :p
Sometimes the titles are the hardest parts.
No pun intended.
All the officials in Government have issues. When I was living in Jersey, our Governor came out of the closet – and he was married (to a girl)! At least they supply a lot of jokes and material for cartoonist and talk shows.
It's almost become a standard for all public officials to have a few skeletons in the closet. Truth be told, I don't know if I could trust a politician who didn't do any dirt.
That's why I was King of the Short Bus, buddy!
What's up with Mr. A's sweater? Did Mrs A. let him go to the thrift store alone again?
Mr. A is not well-known for his fashion sense. If you see him in anything remotely tasteful, it was probably a gift.
The people who want the job are the last people you want doing the job.
Truer words have never been spoken.
