1. I'm surprised it didn't start smoking when he touched it,

or at least burn his little piggy hands.

[tanyev]

10. THAT'S who Karl reminds me of! Whew, thanks.

[Tin Man]

12. LOL, good one!

[Lautremont]

14. You're quite right!

Maybe his face will melt soon.

He also reminds me a bit of this guy:

2. Lincoln's eyes

are burning holes in the back of Rove's overabundant head.

Smells like bacon.

3. ROVER

Where is John Wilkes Booth when you need him!!!

[AlCzervik]

4. ok Karl, off to the theater with you.

[kimmerspixelated]

5. They need to give him a prison cell.

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE WHO THINK HE'S OKAY?????

6. Were All 5 Remaining Illinois Repugnicans There?

A decade ago, the area I lived in was as red as could be...now, thanks to Karl and his ilk i have Democratic representation across the board...from governor down to state rep. Thanks Karl!!!!!

I assume Karl didn't recite Lincoln's "House Divided Against Itself" speech.

8. third cousin, six generations...

And I'm offended.

11. The would never need OIL again, if we could only harness the power of Lincoln spinning in his grave.

This is the secret to NeoCon Republican success, the
very basic binary-language KERNEL of their OS:
They have no shame.

SHAMELESSNESS defines them; all else is mere detail.

[Shakespeare]

13. Hypocrite. The republicans hate Lincoln.

And rarely have anything good to say about him unless it's an occasion where they can use him as a political prop.
