From The Ryskind Sketchbook (check out his still-building new site, with commentary)I enjoyed this take on a previous Pelosi cartoon, for example:
So now that fuel prices are breezing their way to 5 clams a gallon, what are the “commonsense” proposals Pelosi has squeezed out of the collective brain of the Democratic party?
Put corn in their gas tank.
Don’t drill for oil.
Sue OPEC .
Raise taxes on the oil companies.
Don’t cut the gas tax.
Deplete the strategic oil (700 million barrels) reserve…
Mock the idea that the billions of barrels of oil and trillions of cubic feet of natural gas from ANWR could make the slightest dent.
See, this is what you get when you let a San Francisco liberal define commonsense. Thank God we would never let them define marriage.
Or this on Obama's reaction to that New Yorker cover:
For a presidential candidate to be so defensive about a cartoon whose editorial barb wasn’t even pointing in his direction, might strike the average American as odd; but in fairness, Obama can be forgiven for thinking he was the one being attacked since it was the first time he’s appeared on a magazine cover without light beams emanating from his head.
