New Downing Street cartoons

Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Don Wright of the Palm Beach Post has brought us more than one Downing Street political cartoon. This one mocks the media "watchdog." (Note: the link will expire on 7/1. )

He ran another one on June 12 which I can't find anywhere except in this paper version of the Baltimore Sun I had lying around my house for some reason. It's a one-panel cartoon in which Deep Throat meets a member of the press in a garage and says, "The British Downing Street Memo proves that, long before telling Congress, Bush had secretly decided to go to war against Iraq, and he lied to the American people."

To which the reporter replies, "BOOOOOORING! Whaddya got on Brad Pitt and Michael Jackson?"

Matt Wuerker also has fun with the media "watchdog."

Tom Toles skewers his own colleagues at the Washington Post in "Correction."

Nick Diamond draws the only cartoon actually targeting Bush instead of the media.

And last but far from least, the singularly brilliant Tom Tomorrow brings us "The Liberal's Guide to Ignoring the Downing Street Memo."
