Ebbie, I don't see it as dishonest, the way it was presented. Nobody even came close to suggesting it was anything but a spoof.
I've seen and heard similar cut-and-paste spoofs done on people whose politics I generally agree with and/or whom I admire, and some of those have been pretty funny too.

Now if this one were not so OTT and obviously doctored for humorous effect, I'd denounce it as dishonest and misleading too.   It's kind of like a photoshopped image where the head is way too big for the body or vice-versa: nobody would take it for the real thing.


akenaton, you don't think mudcatters are ever known to engage in adolescent humor??
