Beautiful work, as always. Condi will show them what truth is all about.

On an unrelated (completely) topic: Could you please, please do a cartoon on Yo! MTV Raps John Kerry (a.k.a. Snoop Taxxy Taxx). He apparently was caught shamelessly pandering for the hip-hop vote on MTV. As NewMax reported it:


Likely Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry claimed Tuesday night that he's a big fan of rap and hip-hop music.

The straight-laced Beacon Hill blue-blood who married into the $700 million Heinz ketchup fortune told MTV, "I'm fascinated by rap and by hip-hop. I think that there's a lot of poetry in it. There's a lot of anger - a lot of social energy in it."

Kerry said America's leaders disregard rap music at their peril, telling MTV, "I think you better listen to it pretty carefully because it's important."

Asked about some of the more outrageous lyrics in today's rap songs, Kerry replied, "Do I think some lyrics in some songs have stepped over what I consider to be a reasonable line? Yeah, I do."

He then explained, "I think when you start, you know, talking about killing cops or something like that, it bothers me."

Still, Kerry defended the gangsta rap genre, telling MTV, "I'm still listening because I know that it's a reflection of the street and it's a reflection of life. And I understand all that."

What a jerk! But of course it would take some real 'nads to say "Rap? It's crap! What on earth is wrong with the style of great vocalists like Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald? Come on kids, have some CLASS"!

Yeah, I heard about that... the guy is absolutely shameless, and so phony. I'll see what I can come up with. I love the "Snoop Taxxy-Taxx" line!! Mind if I use it?

There is a lot of anger in the dumbocRAT party as well. John F'ing Kerry is the right person for that party. Actually, I would have loved to have seen Screemin Dean - he had more anger than Algore.
