That Reagan. What a guy.
First he
conspired with Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini
to throw the U.S. presidential election for
the Republicans in 1980 and then he comes back
five years later to secretly
funnel weapons into Iran
to aid their war against Iraq. (For those who
can't recall the resultant monies were used
to illegally fund his nun-murdering contra
buddies in Nicaragua.)
Bill Clinton was famously impeached
for
"Not having sex with that woman" but
Reagan got away with "We didn't
trade arms for hostages", which
he so totally did. The reason the Democrats
didn't impeach Mr. Reagan for for this
obvious lie was because it would have
made the Democratic Party
look bad
trying
to
impeach two Republican presidents in
a row, especially one so cute, cuddly,
and
mentally-demented as Reagan. (Yes,
Nixon wasn't technically impeached
but he would have been had he
not resigned.)
A lot of little fish spent time in the
big house over this Iranian back-scratch
but the bigger one's got presidential
pardons from George H.W. Bush as he slunk
out the back door of the White House.
So from here on every time you hear
someone complain about Mr. Obama's
handling
of Iran
just say smile and say "Iran-Contra".

A technical note: Occasionally
I add an extra comic (no extra 'toon
today, though) usually revealed when
the mouse
rolls over the
main cartoon,
but I'm altering it to require a mouse-click.
The reason is simply because the rollover
scheme made the 'toon harder to share,
and sharing is what
they're all about.
Thanks!
The Management.
