Welcome to the last edition of Friday Night Cartoons before Election Day 2008. I hope you had the opportunity to vote early, but if not… please do not forget to vote this coming Tuesday.
And for those of you into such things, Happy Halloween.
Now, on to the definitive compilation of this week’s best editorial and political cartoons. Remember, as always, your mileage may vary. Click on a cartoon to make it bigger or to start a slide show. Enjoy!
As always, our thanks go to the talented and observant cartoonists who, each week, help us smile through the pain.
(Okay, so that last one was not a cartoon, but it was fun nonetheless so I threw it in. It is good to laugh.)
Think about it, though. You are in the final days of your campaign for the presidency of the United States. You have a limited number of seats on your airplane and a lot of people who want to sit in them. So, who are you going to ask to give up their seats?
A national newspaper or broadcast network that is favorable toward your campaign, or
A small, regional newspaper (daily circulation 300,000) in the heart of Bushland that is more favorable toward your opponent’s campaign.
Though I am sure the rabid right wing will scream about it and refuse to see the logic behind the decision, I think most of us would go with the second option.
I do not know if space is at a premium on Johnny McCain’s or Sarah Palin’s airplane (I kind of doubt that it is), but if it is who do you think is going to be asked to relinquish their boarding passes? Will it be Fox News? Somehow I kind of doubt it.
Update: Fox News and The Wall Street Journal, both of which lean about as far to the right as you can without actually falling into the muck, still have their seats on the plane.
UPDATE 11/02/08: If it were your campaign plane, would you want people who would stoop so low as to publish crap like this riding on it with you?
