I always enjoy the Pritchett cartoons, but kinda confused on this one, almost as if he drew the sketch prior to the debate with expectation that Penn would lose his mind and start attacking everyone.

Penn lacks commitment! He is not a dummy, he's pretty sharp but he has always took care of BJ first. Athletes at his level are pretty much like that! If he started his political career earlier, he probably would be a good politician.
