Bag. Cat. Out.
Thanks to Margaret WV for pointing me to this:
[Originally, I had just provided a link, which was working. I now find it takes one to Salon but not to the cartoon, leaving, I assume, readers wondering what the heck I had in mind.

No, I did see the entire cartoon (click "Enter Salon" on the initial splash page).
ReplyDeletePoint is that I can all too easily see the Right talking about Bush not being a 'true Scotsman' the minute he's out of office. From there it's just as skip and a hop to saying that he's was an undercover leftie all the time (you all know what kind of man Rove's father was after all).
