Dadmocracy

Yup, I found another stupid news article about how cartoonists are drawing on eggshells when it comes to President Obama. I found their quote from Ted Rall (who inspires cartoonists everywhere by showing that even the most simple-minded buffoon who can manage to grip a pen without shoving it up his nose can become an award-winning journalist) interesting:

Rall, who is liberal, said it’s harder to take shots at Obama because he’s smart, charming and handsome, “so when you attack the personality, people suspect there’s only one reason: It’s gotta be his race. My conservative cartoonist friends find it very frustrating.”

I don’t think Rall’s released his obsequious grip from the President’s pant leg long enough to notice that some of us don’t need to stoop to racism to criticize the policies of a President who has managed to break almost all of his campaign promises within his first month in office. I, for one, have swept all the eggshells off my floor and plan to stomp around quite a bit for the next four years, regardless of any corrupt politician’s skin color.
