Time passes quickly, Dear Readers, and all of a sudden it's time to announce our final Ass Clown selection for the year -
The Left-Cheek Ass Clown for December, 2018
And the final award for the year goes - for the fourth time, and the second time this year - to
White House Press Secretary
Sarah Huckabee Sanders
I was severely conflicted over whether or not to bestow this award yet again on Ms Sanders because she was last dishonored only a month ago, but the daily, relentless demonstration of her skill at tying herself into rhetorical knots in the service of a shamelessly dishonest president allowed her to edge out such strong also-rans as Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell. And if there was any doubt about her blithely oblivious approach to her duties, it should be noted that she recently responded to a question about her view of her legacy with the hope that she would be remembered as having been "transparent and honest."
What more can you say after that?
Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Readers, the final Ass Clown awardee for calendar year 2018 is Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who is receiving her fourth award. At this rate, she'll soon be eligible for a lifetime achievement award, just like her boss.
Have a good day and come back tomorrow for our last pre-Christmas Cartoon Saturday. See you then.

P.S. - We have completed the first week of voting for the 2018 Ass Clown of the Year, and the results thus far are:
5th Place: A three-way tie between The Republican Congressional Majority, The Credulous American Electorate, and The Russians;
4th Place: Paul Ryan;
3rd Place: a tie between Alex Jones and Mike Pence;
2nd Place: a tie between Kellyanne Conway and Sarah Huckabee Sanders; and,
1st Place: A tie between Senator Mitch McConnell and Donald J. Trump. Despite being officially ineligible by virtue of the lifetime award he won last year, Mr Trump has nevertheless received a very large number of write-in votes ... the write-in option being a marvelously GOP-ish dodge around the rules.
Don't forget to cast your votes today! And tomorrow! Chicago Rules apply and balloting closes at midnight on December 31st. Let your voice be heard!

An excellent choice, although I must admit I have never been able to make it all the way through one of Ms. Sanders press conferences. The reporters who have no choice but to sit through them and listen to her idiotic non-answers to their questions have my sympathy.
Sarah has gotten so used to lying she probably believes what she is spuing.
You always know how to pick them! A very worthy choice.
My daily votes:
10 for Mitch McConnell
10 for Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I almost feel sorry for her. She lost her way long ago, pulled off the path by Trump. She's gotten worse and worse.
3 for Mike Pence. He deserves some too, complicit as he is.
5 for Donald J Trump. I might as well get on the illegal voting bandwagon. If he is pulled out of retirement, he'll be back by popular un-demand.
30 for Mitch McConnell.
