By Wasserman: brilliant cartoonist. if I knew how I would get the link but I'm hoping someone in the comments will:  Here's the jist:

Mc Cain (with his swollen man cheeks) right hand up, index finger pointing up, in front of a podium with sign "Iraq"in front of him
McCain's left hand gestures toward three pitures, obvious caracatures of Bush, Rummy and Heney.

Text goes in two baloons:
the first: IF WE LEAVE NOW    the second balloon (remember he's gesturing toward BushRummyCheney)      
                               THEY WILL HAVE
                                LIED IN VAIN

I see in this primary election a race where Democrats have a clear chance to nominate a winning candidate, Barack Obama, who represents a clean break from the old style of Democratic politics that has brought us 2 heartbreaking defeats against George W. Bush, a narrow victory over Ross Perot and G.H.W. Bush and 2 landslide defeats at the hands of Ronald Reagan (sorry, I mentioned Reagan- time to get the vapors!).

But I also see why Democratic voters aren't yet sold on Obama and it has to do with the party's continued efforts to shoot itself in the foot every four years. Please join me behind the jump to see what I have cooked up...

This is going to be short, and if someone else has already posted about this, please let me know and I'll take it down.

Tom Toles, the Washington Post's editorial cartoonist, gives a body slam to the paper and Perry Bacon for their Obama coverage yesterday:

Check out the cartoon here.

My personal opinion is that this is one of Toles' best this year.

...and  Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Tuesday that Democrats won't approve more money for the Iraq war this year unless President Bush agrees to begin bringing troops home.

By the end of the week, the House and Senate planned to vote on a $50 billion measure for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The bill would require Bush to initiate troop withdrawals immediately with the goal of ending combat by December 2008.

As my diaries go, this one is very short.

This political cartoon appeard in our local paper today.

When I read these two diaries which are presently near the top of the rec list, I knew I had to at least post a link to this incisive Chris Britt cartoon. Please check it out.

Please let me know if the link doesn't work.
(I realize that I could have pasted the cartoon into the dairy, but it would have been a very overt violation of copyright laws.)

    I’m guessing that even Tom Stoppard couldn’t have come up with fictional characters as dislimned from reality as the corporeal creatures who inhabit the uppermost regions of our government.
