o'empty chair - o'toons from 'The Blaze' + o'not-funny

     The o'toons below have aquired new significance in light of o'awol's mess that o'snafu created in the Mid-East leading directly to the atrocities committed against Ambassador Christopher Stevens, two Marines, and an a consulate staff member. -- rfh
     "The four Americans were killed Tuesday, September 11th, in an attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya."
     "..sensitive documents have apparently gone missing from the embassy following the attack, potentially putting many in danger."

  •      Clint Eastwood's performance at the Republican National Convention last Thursday sparked a raft of conflicted reactions from the political commentariat.  Many liberals sneered at the speech as a grotesque bit of exploitative theater – Dirty Harry meets Honey Boo Boo – while others, including Bill Maher and Jon Stewart, applauded the speech for its comedic timing.  Conservatives, too, had mixed reactions, with some bemoaning the speech's potential for distraction on a night that should have belonged to GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney, while others found it hilarious and cutting in its unscripted genuineness.
         However, whatever the reaction to the speech, one piece of it has endured as a political image – namely, the sight of Mr. Eastwood speaking to an empty chair as though he were interviewing President Barack Obama.  This image not only inspired most of the derision by the Left, including the obligatory accusation of racism, but now it has also managed to hijack Twitter on Labor Day, as conservative tweeters have rechristened the beloved union-inspired holiday "Empty Chair Day."  And to celebrate, they have tweeted pictures of empty chairs.  Without stopping.
         Below are the five best pictures of empty chairs posted by these practical jokesters:
