Michael Ramirez is the BEST political cartoonist of my lifetime — in a stratosphere league of a William F. Buckley and Ronald Reagan.

Congratulations, Michael — you were GREAT at the Memphis Commercial Appeal and the Los Angeles Times (SHOWING UP CONRAD ON A DAILY BASIS).

You should be the perennial winer of the Pulitzer.

I can hardly believe this.

As someone else has said, he actually deserves this.

And he did no harm to the country.

Good point, Bahbah!!!
