10th Anniversary of “Mission Accomplished" Accomplished

CLASSIC MAD DEPT.

Ten years ago today, President George W. Bush dressed up as a fighter pilot (the only incident of presidential cosplay we know of), landed on an aircraft carrier, and declared “Mission Accomplished” in the Iraq War — which actually didn’t end until 2011. So, as Dubya celebrates the opening of his Presidential Library, we celebrate with the cover of MAD #437, on which we anointed his premature declaration of victory as one of The 20 Dumbest Things of the Year for 2003.

What Was Obama REALLY Shooting At?

ALL YOU CAN SKEET DEPT.

To quiet those who have questioned the president’s gun use, the White House released a photo over the weekend that showed Obama skeet shooting.

What was really in Obama's sights? We can only speculate.
