Looks like he'll shoot hinself in the foot!

[So Cal Rocket]

The LAT is part of the Clinton Machine so therefore they do NOT want Howard Dean to be the Democratic Nominee.

[Prime Choice]

This will henceforth be known as "Operation Foot-Bullet."

No argument here, but Ramirez is their token conservative editorial cartoonist. He does some good stuff.

[Lancey Howard]

The funniest part is that there are som many Democrats whose name could go on that gun instead of Dean's. Guaranteed, this cartoonist doesn't get published in the LA Times-Trotskyite unless he is a socialist scumbag like the editors. The objective of that cartoon is to help the Clintons.

[Squantos]

LOL.......Well there ya go ......The new Demonratic Party moniker......"The Foot Shooters Society" !

[IGOTMINE]

Does this violate our fair use agreement with that alleged newspaper?

[aposiopetic]

Ramirez is NO socialist scumbag, editors notwithstanding.

[speedy]

While the LA Times is indeed despicable, Ramirez (the cartoonist) has always been well over on the right politically. I don't know how he holds his job there, but I give him credit for bucking the official view.

Ramirez is the token conservative at the LAT. His cartoons usually take exactly the opposite position of everything else on the editorial page.

Thanks for the heads-up re: Ramirez.
You cannot believe what we have to deal with over here at the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Philadelphia Daily News. Thankfully, neither one (Tony Auth and Signe Wilkinson) is good enough to see much syndication nationally. Being knee-jerk liberal Democrat is pathetic enough, but these two can't even draw well enough to disguise their lack of wit.

"Good", hell, he does *great* stuff.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Ramirez strikes again! Pretty damn funny!

Save that one for future use.

If LaT is against him, then so is NYT, and then the alphabet media. He's in trouble.

The question is this: who DO they want? I'm guessing Liebermann or Gephardt.

Clark. Although those other two might also be suitable Clinton puppets.

Ramirez is the BEST! He was the only reason I use to check the op-ed page of the Times for decades when I was still a subscriber. And you can check out all of his recent cartoons for yourself at this link. http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-include-ramirez.ssipage

Until Hillary decides if she is running in '04 (not likely) or '08 (highly likely) the last thing they want is a candidate taking off, whom they do not control.

Once her decision is made, look for them to back whoever they feel can be assured of a defeat.
