That was a detestable cartoon, btw. I wrote to the Chronicle and said, "Gee, I wonder if your O-so-bright cartoonist remembers back when Texas was a thoroughly Democrat state from top of ticket to the very bottom, and getting elected simply meant winning the Democrat primary? Did he worry and fret about 'checks and balances' then?"
I'm sick of the hypocrisy.
The Chronicle, and especially their cartoonist, are truly hateful people and their hypocrisy would be laughable if it weren't so maddening.
