Tom Toles CARTOON on Abramoff ONLY involved with GOPs - PASS IT ON!
Too damn many articles, reports and editorial cartoons have carried the Bushie lie that the Abramoff scandal is "bipartisan." This despite the smackdowns by Howard Dean of Wolf Blitzer (VIDEO posted at this Crooks & Liars entry: http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/01/08.html#a6627) and the blatantly biased Washington Post ombudsman (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x185787). Not to mention the fact that the FEC stated it explicitly (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x83586).

But my hero and ace cartoonist Tom Toles knows and is getting the truth out in his own style. Here's his latest effort at the Washington Post site:



In case the Wash Post discontinues carrying it or if you can't see it for some other reason, add an "h" to the beginning of the following URL to generate my Image Shack backup of this great cartoon:

10. Very nice cartoon
I think that for a good majority of people who believe that the Abramoff scandal is bipartisan, this is the only way to get the point across to them.

11. Here's TT on the effect of global warming on species extinctions -
another reason why the Bushies don't see a reason to stop it. And don't miss the little comment in the right corner. As his cartoons often are, it's a one-two punch:
