SO MANY MINCING GAYS! That dead-chimp=Obama cartoon is just one part of a rich tapestry of shitty racist/homophobic/just-plain-weird Sean Delonas’ cartoons in the New York Post. [Gawker]

Yes, yes, the angry white bitters are pretty racist, surprise, and this impotent minority is just going to fume in the ugliest possible way for the next eight/twelve years, and it gets dull being outraged by the same dumb trash, but this cartoon was not scrawled on the back of a Cheetos box and submitted to World Net Daily, by mail — this was in a major metropolitan daily in New York City. Ugh. [Guardian]

Dolly’s sadistic parents have dressed her as America’s most-hated angry dingbat, so the neighbors will feed her poison. (Thanks Josh!)

Oh look, it’s America, the nation of 11-year-old fat kids who lack the intellectual capacity to process anything beyond comic books. Have you heard about the greatest work of cinematic art in history, 300 Explosions With Batman and Joker?

“Why can’t you draw something nice for a change?” This, I imagine, is probably what hard-working political cartoonists hear from their parents all the time, as their chosen profession requires that they use their talent exclusively for drawing political figures, who are both evil and physically unattractive, rather than depicting, say, handsome movie stars frolicking with adorable baby seals. But does spending so much artistic energy on the jowls of our political leaders lead to an unhealthy fascination with the ugly and the disturbing? Let’s meet some artists who have stared into the abyss a little too long. MORE »
THE BEST TEDDY ROOSEVELT CARTOON YOU’LL READ TODAY: Katie Beaton might be our favorite web cartoonist since Chris Onstad. This one’s called “Theodore Roosevelt on the Presidency.” You might also enjoy this one, about the assassination of President James Garfield. The history sections are all awesome, the end.

We usually save the political cartoons for Fridays, but Jeff Danziger himself sent us this one today, and we are going to have terrible, terrible nightmares about Mark Penn tonight, again. [Danziger Cartoons]
Anthony Lewis reviewed Glenn Kessler’s Condiography The Confidante in yesterday’s New York Times Sunday Book Review, and, you know, blah, blah, blah. Whatever. It all just seems like an excuse to publish the accompanying illustration, an absolutely fab drawing of Condoleezza Rice by the excitingly-named Noma Bar. If you’re reluctant to click the link, see a full-sized screenshot of the illustration and learn more about the artist after the jump…
Jesus, that was fast. Entire political scandals can now be turned into cartoons within mere hours. Also, this video was supposedly made by Larry Craig himself, according to the e-mail we just got from, uhh, Larry Craig:
