When editorial cartoonist Michael Ramirez portrayed George W. Bush as the Viet Cong in the famous street execution scene from the Tet Offensive, he made a very bad mistake, though one that any competent editor should have caught. But folks who were more familiar with his work assured that he was in fact conservative and that the piece was meant to suggest that the President was being unfairly attacked over Iraq. His latest cartoon would certainly seem to support the view that he's a conservative. Posted by Orrin Judd at August 16, 2003 7:14 AM
