It's the JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! It's always the JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
Republicans
George W. Bush is President of the United States. He is a Methodist. He is an oil man from an oil family, and he sucks up to the Saudis so hard he pisses petroleum. Not Jewish.
Dick Cheney is the most powerful Vice President of the United States in history. He, too, is an oil man, with his fingers in the oil infrastructure business, and when he's not sucking up to Saudis, he's selling oil rigs to Iran. Not Jewish.
Donald Rumsfeld was Secretary of Defense when we invaded Iraq. A Republican hatchet-man since the Nixon days, he and Cheney have always been attached at the hip. He opposed the release of convicted Israeli spy Johnathon Pollard. Not Jewish.
Colin Powell as Secretary of State when we invaded Iraq. Powell is career military man. Not Jewish.
Condaleeza Rice was National Security Adviser when we invaded Iraq. She is so attached to the oil industry that they name tankers after her. She was formerly on the board of Chevron. Arabs have oil. Israel does not. Not Jewish.
Karl Rove is George W. Bush's political advisor, the man who gives the green light for any action, based upon how it will effect politics. He's a life long political hack, tied intimately in with the evangelical community. Not Jewish.
There you have it, folks, the Republican decision makers in the lead up to the war. Did they have Jewish advisors, Jewish employees? Sure, lots of gentile ones, too. But the people above are the people in power, the ones who make decisions. Even if they hired Jews with a point of view, the fault lies, doesn't it, with the decision to hire those people? No. It's the JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZZZZZZZZZZZ! They are evil manipulators, making the bosses hire them and then do their bidding.
Democrats
Democrats have long involved themselves with groups representing the interests of its voters. Where would Democrats be today without teachers unions, manufacturing unions, trial lawyers, or the AARP. And that's good, isn't it? After all, we are supposed to be interested in the things of interest to our constituents.
With one exception.
Polls continuously show that Americans overwhelmingly support Israel. But if a Democrat does something perfectly consistent with the vast majority of his or her constituents point of view, they are being "controlled" by AIPAC, an apparently all-mighty cabal of evil Israelis with power far beyond that of the AARP, the NRA, the trial lawyers, the teachers unions, or anything else seen in the history of the world. Never mind that they are acting as darn near every American would ask them too. No, you see, it's the JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZZZZZZZZZZZ!
The real tragedy, of course, is that Bush's inattention to I/P, and his absurd adventurism for oil in Iraq, has contributed to the instability in the region, and now Hamas and Fatah are in a civil war:
Well, that should be enough to bring a bit of attention to Saturday Morning Political Cartoons. I promised Ilyana I'd try to bring some explosiveness to this morning's edition.
We are a growing group of political cartoonists, just looking for opportunities to help you illustrate your diaries and publications. If you see somebody with a style you like, ask them to help you illustrate your next tome. If you see a cartoon you like, here or in the past, just ask if you can use it. We're just here to have some fun, and to improve our art. And don't hold tis cartoon against them- it's part tantrum over the insane I/P stuff in the past, and part just provocation, to get you to look at some of the AMAZING cartoons being done here.
Let the games begin.
