"In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

I would think that Liberals should applaud the fact that an African-American woman acheived a great education and has risen to the top to become Secretary of State. Instead, we get cartoons from prominent left cartoonists depicting her as ignorant, a puppet of Bush, and good for nothing but staying home and having babies.
(I'm a little confused on the Danziger one that uses her sex to attack her- does Rush Limbaugh have a leftist cartoon drawer?)

If there's a senior citizen somewhere who can't pay for her prescription and has to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer, even if it's not my grandmother. If there's an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties. It's that fundamental belief -- I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper -- that makes this country work." - Barack Obama

'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

Then the clarification would come from you saying that and saying why it's located on Rush's website, for those of us not registered with his site... [I see from the URL it's in the extra part which would tell me it's not from Rush's site, but I would presume his extras are also Republican items?]

The first two are not, the third is kind of sketchy, and only works if you know the full context.
As LotM mentions, its taken from a Black servent who brags about knowing everything about helping to give birth to babies. What he does't remember, however, is when the time comes she says, "I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies."
Combine that with the aluminum tubes story, and the fact that she claimed previously that the only thing those tubes were good for is building centrifuges, at a time when our energy deperatment said there was no way those specific tubes could be used for centrifuges, and the cartoon makes more sense.
Condi is being promoted for being a team player. She is not competent for the job, if her tenure at the NSA is anything to go by.
BTW, Powell had stated he wanted to stay on until Spring, in order to see the Iraqi elections through. He was told no. He was fired in that Washington way of being fired, by being forced to resign. Not that it matters. No one listened to him at the White House anyway.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
