Cartoon Mary Worth: Meddling Whore

From the incomparable Rob Long at NRO:

LARRY KING: Tomorrow! The whole hour with the Van Patten clan! From Hilversum, Holland, hello!"

CALLER: "Hello, Larry. I was wondering to ask your guest why it is just European cartoons he finds offensive? Perhaps there are some American cartoons to be angry about?"

LARRY KING: "What about it? Do you guys object to Beetle Bailey?"

MULLAH RAMZI AL'QUADAR: "No, no. Look, Larry, this whole thing has been misinterpreted, and, if I may say, really exacerbated by the media. The cartoon that was published in Denmark was offensive — deeply offensive — to Islam. I mean, depicting our Holy Prophet with a bomb on his head instead of a turban? Come on!"

LARRY KING: "So Peanuts is okay in your book?"

MULLAH RAMZI AL'QUADAR: "Of course, Larry. The world of children and Snoopy and the whole thing: We love it."

LARRY KING:"Dilbert?"

MULLAH RAMZI AL'QUADAR: "Workplace Everyman! Who could object to that?"

LARRY KING: "Hagar the Horrible?"

MULLAH RAMZI AL'QUADAR: "Wry observations with a historical bent! It's cute!"

LARRY KING:"Cathy?"

MULLAH RAMZI AL'QUADAR: "Well, Cathy is a whore and should be stoned to death."

LARRY KING: "Excuse me?"

MULLAH RAMZI AL'QUADAR: "Her and Mary Worth both. Whores."

LARRY KING: "Honestly, I don't see your point about Mary Worth."

MULLAH RAMZI AL'QUADAR: "Meddling prostitute. Crush her to death under a boulder."...

For the record, the caller may be right about Mary Worth.

Think about the fact that today they protested in Lahore.

Yet, they also burned down a KFC, which shows the influence of Pamela Anderson.

The whole thing is rife with contradictions.
