Ashcroft's testimony

I remember the Singing Senators, so i get the connection here.  If you also meant that he will be singing to Congress, then this is a pretty OK comic.

It's still a little off, because Pallone and Pascrell want him to sing for Congress, and Christie doesn't.  If Ashcroft admitted under oath that he got the contract "with a little help from my friends" that would not be good for Christie.

So I give you a B for characterization, an A for illustration and a C- for implementation.

They are actually rarely clever, if well illustrated. He rarely offers new insight, we all knew the sentiment in this cartoon before he illustrated it. Yes Ashcroft got a cushy deal from Christie and Pallone and Pascrell are irritated-where is the insight? Tornoe gets flack because he is a pretty poor cartoonist.

And I am not the only one who thinks that Tornoe is a bad cartoonist. Here is the point. Can I draw better than Rob Tornoe? No. Do I know what a political cartoon should be? Yes.  Can I come up with a slew of better ideas for cartoons? Yes-so could most of the people who post here. Do I make my living commenting on politics? No. Does Rob Tornoe make a living attempting to point out ills in the political system? Yes. Am I a political cartoonist? No. Does Tornoe have anything original or insightful in his cartoons? Rarely. I have said this before I am not a football player but I know Peyton Manning is a good quarterback. Tornoe is a bland insightless cartoonist for the most part, just because I cannot draw as good has he can does not mean my remarks on his work are less valid.
