"My buddy"

John Kerry, Bob Woodward political cartoon.

 

Apr. 21, 2004...

Woodward’s new book "Plan of Attack"  is gathering steam on the question he raised that Saudi Arabia would lower gas prices close to the election to help Bush win. Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry tried to capitalize on the allegation, calling it "disgusting if true."

Jay Leno, on the Tonight Show, asked the question of how Kerry thought he would get elected President advocating for high gas prices.

The Saudis have released an announcement that they are not manipulating the market to affect the elections outcome. The White House stated that they were not inclined to speak for the Saudis. However, they pointed out that it had been Saudi Arabia’s policy to keep oil prices between $22 to $28 per barrel in order not to hurt the U.S. economy.

"I don't say there's a secret deal or any collaboration on this," Woodward told CNN's "Larry King Live" Monday. "What I say in the book is that the Saudis ... hoped to keep oil prices low during the period before the election, because of its impact on the economy. That's what I say."

Asked by Larry King about Kerry's use of the issue, Woodward said, "Kerry has taken this to the next level. This always gets caught in the political crossfire, and I'm trying to stick with what my reporting showed."

I have never seen anything quite like the Kerry response to the publication of his voting record on military matters.

Here is the 'tator take on Kerry and his senate votes on the military. </azzzzz.

What happened to his well manicured "Coiffeur"? The one he spends hours on trying to look "debonaire" or is trying to look "French"? In so far as his election chances are conscerned, he's fried, so it would be apropos to say maybe that he's "French Fried"?

[jigsaw]

Awesome!

Linda, you should start pulling an 'Al Hirschfeld' and hide a name or symbol in your beautiful artwork.

Another Kudo, Linda.

I do believe we can say that he's "French Fried." ;-) His hair looks like he was blown out of a wind tunnel. When he started running for Prez he's finally got a trim, and/or thinned. Basically, he's a slob. He didn't care about his looks until now. He didn't care about looking good for Teresa, but now that he's trying to impress people he does. She should be mad about that. What a phony.

Btw, welcome to Free Republic! ;-)

I'm sure Woodward's laying awake nights just fuming about Kerry using his book to score political points against President Bush.</sarcasm>

Great cartoon, BTW.

"jigsaw's right. I hide it in my own feeble graphics."

It's a perfect way to honor my grandmother (Gina) who meant and still means more to me than words will ever describe. Gina was staunchly conservative, kept well-informed, and loved the political satire of many. Thank you to you both for tweaking my heart!

[Lady Jag]

So should we be looking for wonderful Gina hiding in your art?

[IPWGOP]

Absolutely. My next 'toon is about Spain tucking their tails and leaving Iraq. Gina shall appear within!! :)) She always did enjoy getting the 'last word' on things!!!

[Lady Jag]

Beautiful.
