What if someone whose job is to draw political cartoons thinks the person being made SoS is an ignorant puppet? Should they be quiet if they're an African-American?

(I'm a little confused on the Danziger one that uses her sex to attack her- does Rush Limbaugh have a leftist cartoon drawer?)

The Daziger one seems innappropriate to me. It just looks mean and without any real satirical value.

Then the clarification would come from you saying that and saying why it's located on Rush's website, for those of us not registered with his site... [I see from the URL it's in the extra part which would tell me it's not from Rush's site, but I would presume his extras are also Republican items?]

The first two are not, the third is kind of sketchy, and only works if you know the full context.

As LotM mentions, its taken from a Black servent who brags about knowing everything about helping to give birth to babies. What he does't remember, however, is when the time comes she says, "I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies."

Combine that with the aluminum tubes story, and the fact that she claimed previously that the only thing those tubes were good for is building centrifuges, at a time when our energy deperatment said there was no way those specific tubes could be used for centrifuges, and the cartoon makes more sense.

Condi is being promoted for being a team player. She is not competent for the job, if her tenure at the NSA is anything to go by.

BTW, Powell had stated he wanted to stay on until Spring, in order to see the Iraqi elections through. He was told no. He was fired in that Washington way of being fired, by being forced to resign. Not that it matters. No one listened to him at the White House anyway.

Because we liberals are so simple minded that since she is black, we have to applaud her?

I'm offended by a lot of crap I see thrown about the people who re-elected Bush, and I'm tired of it.

I guess that's why I don't post that much anymore.

Agreed.

I disagree with the politics of the pro-Bush, and there is probably some truth that Bush is vastly overrepresented among the conservative and self-catering rural people.

But these people are far from being the only ones who voted for Bush. And the extreme negative stereotypes we see about them is really wrong IMHO. These stereotypes attack probably the weakest of Bush's voters (which is wrong in itself), and they also insult about one half of Americans who voted for Bush.
