Cultural Cartoonification

What’s fair for the goose, is fair for the geezer.

I was planning to expand this concept into something about how cartoons this summer are giving us more meaty news to chew on than actual live-action political discourse, but got too wrapped up in other work. So I’ll have to drop this Salon bomb and run, and come back later to see what you guys think before I decide how I feel about it.¬† I depend on you guys to bring intelligence and a balanced perspective to my sometimes half-baked formulations (the same way Salon’s readers comments are often far more thoughtful and interesting than the posts that spark the debate — so check those out if you have a chance.) I was actually gonna try to fly a similar parody a few weeks ago when I was steaming over the outrageous treatment Michelle Obama was getting for being a “bitter” “baby-mama,” but it didn’t come together as I hoped so I held off posting for various reasons. But heck, let’s make this Satireday at AD! I’ll slip in my attempt after the cut.
