Those were cute! I love how they draw Bush's ears. They always make him look like Yoda! Tony Blair's ears were pretty cute too! I feel like I am seeing a race of elves from LOTR!
A response to the Tony Blair and G. Bush Tea Cartoon:
I think you mean British Intellegence...Which by the way was true about S. Hussain trying to buy urainium (sp?) from an African country to create a Nuke. So Bushe's 16 words in the Presidental Address which everyone said he was lying about...was true according to British Intellegence which in the News three days ago bares out to be true after all. Go figure????

Except that an investigation of the British Intelligence (which used US Intellingence as it source) showed that it was NOT true, Ma'am. As near as I can tell from all the reports, the original allegation came from Georgies second cousin, twice removed, Maurice.
Thank you, kind people, for your responses. I appreciate them.

Here's an interesting Kerry tidbit from the New York Post online edition by Dick Morris (a former adviser to President Clinton):
July 21, 2004 -- JUST as the Democratic Party in the later 1960s was dominated by the schism between President Lyndon B. Johnson and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, so the party in this decade is likely to be mired in a split between the Clintons on the one hand and Ted Kennedy and John Kerry on the other.
When Kerry chose Edwards, a charismatic future contender for the presidency, he knew he was investing in an opponent for Hillary when she goes for the top job herself. If Kerry loses, Hillary will run in 2008; if he wins, she'll run in 2012. Either way, she'll have to beat Edwards, whom Kerry plucked from the ashes of defeat.
The split began in the fall of 2003, when Kerry was floundering in the face of the Howard Dean surge. The Clintons had bet on Kerry and even sent Chris Lehane (who had played a key role in their Lewinsky-impeachment defense) to be the Massachusetts senator's chief campaign consultant. But as Kerry faltered, the Clintons bailed out on his candidacy and pushed Gen. Wesley Clark into the race as their candidate.
The former president was quoted in public as saying that his wife and Gen. Clark were the two most outstanding Democrats in the nation. Clinton loyalists like Bruce Lindsay and Harry Thomason took their cue and went to work for Clark (a fellow Arkansan). But the unkindest cut of all was when Lehane walked out of the Kerry campaign, attesting to the senator's lack of viability and joined up with Clark.
In rushed Ted Kennedy to save the day, sending Mary Beth Cahill of his Senate staff to steer the faltering Kerry campaign. Kennedy's pivotal role was evident from his up-front and public position by his Massachusetts colleague's side on the night Kerry won the New Hampshire primary. As Kerry was all but clinching the nomination, who introduced him to the victory rally? Ted Kennedy.
Throughout their administration, the Clintons cold-shouldered Kennedy ? realizing that the average American voter saw him as radioactively liberal. In the 1996 campaign, we went into overdrive to be sure that Kennedy would have no prime-time speaking role, even though he had usually had the spotlight to himself at past Democratic conclaves.
As Bill Clinton veered to the center, he increasingly parted company with Ted Kennedy and became the senator's factional antagonist within the party. The gap was bridged somewhat in the impeachment fight, but has come back with a vengeance now that Kennedy is using Kerry as an alternative to the Clinton domination of the party.
The battle between Bill and Hillary in one corner and Kerry, Kennedy and Edwards in the other will become as bitter as the battle between Johnson and RFK. Cahill's bluntness in excluding Hillary from the speakers list ? even though Kerry was forced to back off and let Hillary introduce Bill ? is a signal that in this fight, no holds will be barred.

Wow. Is there really a Clinton-Kennedy fight going on in the Democratic Party?
