I used to like Horsey's cartoons...he draws well, and 4 or 5 years ago it seemed like he would take potshots at any convenient target (even if he did seem to have a liberal tilt). Nowadays he seems to be obsessively anti-Bush and anti-Republican, and the message is usually so strident that it isn't funny.

Ditto. The same goes for the P.I.'s Joel Connelly; I used to think of him as relatively even-handed, now he seems rabidly partisan, often unfair, and sometimes completely irrational. As an example of the old Horsey, I remember a cartoon he did when there was the controversy about building a Disneyland in France. The cartoon showed a sophisticated leftist-looking French woman jumping up on a table shouting, "Eeek, a mouse!" as a tiny Mickey Mouse ran across the floor.
