Oliphant is a great cartoonist, and these cartoons are funny. I didn't know that political cartoonists were supposed to "make nice" when faced with a candidate they don't like.

Sure, but he's also playing on sexist stereotypes. Satire, yes; prejudice, no. Thanks.

The misogynistic attacks on Hillary are pushing me more and more into her camp -- and I can't stand the woman. The cartoons aren't satire -- they're just mean-spirited and not particularly funny.

They don't even have to be funny - just show a little wit or creativity or insight or cleverness or SOMETHING for God's sake. Those cartoons are nothing but the nasty scribblings of a little boy who has nothing to add to the dialog except name-calling and mysogynist stereotypes.

Would it be OK to criticize Obama's conciliatory rhetoric by drawing him shuffling around like a servile reject from Amos&Andy? Or illustrate his disagreements with Senator Clinton by dressing him up as a ghetto pimp slapping Hillary around like one of his ho's? Here's a thought: Let's criticize his policy towards America's poor by portraying Michelle as a 'welfare queen'! That'll be a real thigh-slapper!

Whether directed towards women or African Americans, this kind of crap isn't funny - it's ugly.

Dammit, among the top three Democrats Clinton is my least favorite, and yet I'm so pissed off at this garbage that I'm not just tempted, I'm seriously considering voting for her. Must be my PMS, right?

Must be, SV. And if I don't find these cartoons funny, it's just because I'm a woman and thus have no sense of humor. No woman does, you know.

Real women have senses of humor, Wren. Just not feminists.
