Bushenstein
LOL 
Admittedly I don't know the politics of it, and personally I'll stay out of that side... I just thought this was hilarious. http://www.democrats.org/scotus/bushenstein.html
(voice over is poor, but the overall cartoon is funny)

I think they must have hired the Iraqi information minister.

I agree with the sentiments, but I think the animation and the humor are both trash.
The thing about political cartoons is, they have to be both funny and artistic. Having the right political position is practically the least important part...

I kept waiting for it to be funny, then the propaghanda started. It would have been funny if what Bush created was actually Triumph the Comic Insult Dog, and he said "Supreme Court? That's really great... for me to POOP on!"
Now THAT would be funny!

The points are aimed at Bush's judicial appointments, who are among the most right-wing, racist, socially backward in memory. One appointee went to extremes to defend a cross-burner.

I watched it again, and now it's funny, because it's so stupid. Think MST3K. If anythign, this drives people away from the demos, especially those who can't stand bad flash animations.
'Vote for a candidate with American values, not right-wing values'.
I can think of about 60 thing to say to this off that bat, but I won't. Point is, thier implying that right-wing people aren't American, or don't have American values. I have right-wing views (not on all things, mind you, and I am open-minded to other opinions even though I may not show it all the time). I also have American values. Being Left- or Right-winged does not mean you are not an American, or don't have American values. Gee, don't you love propoganda that's so badly done it's funny?

By the way, that would be Justices Anthony Kennedy, David Souter and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
