1. Dean looks cute in a political cartoon.

If - When - he becomes President, he will look just as cute, even though many cartoons will be bashing him.

Go Dean!

3. He reminds me of T-Bone from Clifford the Big Red Dog

I am obviously a mother of a small child.

4. The cartoonist has got Dean looking lean and fit

and Lieberman looks about right, dumpy and pouty.

6. I Think We Should Start Calling Kerry "Lurch"

He looks like him, doesn't he? And he is about as exciting. And we should start calling Lieberman "Jewy Jew Boy." He is Jewish, right? And we should call Edwards "Potsie." I'm not sure why, but we should. And call Gephardt "No Eyebrows Man." He's always, like, "Look at me, I'm Mr. No Eyebrows Man, vote for me." And call Graham "Dalai Lama," because he's always saying, "Vote for me, I look like a big fat Buddha head." And Kucinich is like Yoda and stuff, except he can't pick up space ships. Or maybe he can. I don't know. I just know he's like Yoda and yells alot.

Just remember that Dean rhymes with Mean, which kinda means good. And it rhymes with Lean, so he can say "Don't vote for Al Sharpton, he's fat." And Dean looks healthy, right!?! Everybody else looks like they're sick or something. Except Carol Moseley Braun, but she's black, and black people are always athletic. Except Al Sharpton. He's fat.

Why is Dean short in this picture? You should make him real tall, because he's the best!

8. Welcome to the world...

Of political cartoons! You're just finding out now that cartoonists exagerate physical features in their work?

I agree with you that some cartoonists border on outright racism (seen any drawings of Sharon and Arafat lately?). But the one's above are pretty tame to elicit such a reaction from you. Maybe it's more the message than the artwork that's got your dander up?

9. Nah, I Was Just Having A Lark

Somehow calling Lieberman "Jewy Jew Boy" (a nickname Jon Stewart's comedian friends gave him, can't take credit) and then making sure he was Jewish seemed funny before my coffee. As did Mr. No Eyebrow Man. Unfortunately, the format didn't allow me to touch on Dean's neck or lack thereof. Seriously, he should look up more.

Hello? Is thing on? Tough crowd! Tough crowd! I tell ya, I get no respect.

10. I got it

and it was funny, though I hadn't had my coffee yet either.
