Still more Downing Street cartoons
In honor of tomorrow's three-year anniversary of the original Downing Street Minutes (the first ones that were leaked, at least), we Big Brass Alliance members are making sure people don't forget. As Paul the Spud at Shakespeare's Sister says:
With the Rove Carnival 'o Fun, the Supreme Court Nominee from Mattel, and the second attack in London, there's a lot going on in the news right now. The Memo has been pushed to the end of the line... not forgotten, but definitely edging towards the lip of the memory hole.All across the nation tomorrow, groups will be holding house parties and rallies to raise awareness and remind people how and why we got into this unnecessary, unjust, and destructive war. The Rove/Plame affair, rather than being a distraction, only serves to remind us how desperate the Administration was to bamboozle the country into believing Saddam posed a serious and imminent threat. Check out AfterDowningStreet.org for events in your area.
With that, I'll fulfill my unofficial role as the BBA 'Toon Scout and dish up some new political funnies. Unfortunately, since the topic has cooled off from the front pages, it's also lost the attention of the cartoonists, but here's a few from late last month.
Hail, Dubyus! at Salon.com takes a look at last month's "Primesident Blush" press conference.
The San Francisco Chronicle's Tom Meyer draws an unlikely parallel between Bush and Michael Jackson.
It's not a cartoon, but Too Stupid to be President gives us the Top 11 Reasons to Ignore the Downing Street Memo.
If you're new here, check out my last segment on Downing Street Minutes cartoons, and the one before that. And get to one of those rallies if you can.
