If ms sotomayor is the best candidate than she shuld be applauded for that not for being the first Latina. & that cartonist is a jerk n shuld pull his head out of his a$$ long enough to realize what he drew is disgusting and shuld be ignored.

A national healthcare system. Fear not people, for they will never learn and only succeed in destroying their own souls while thinking they have destroyed yours.

Of course ethnicity is fair game for political cartoonists, they just run the danger of making themselves look stupid (as in this case) when they do it badly. Meh.

Chip Bok is generally not one of the worst of the conservative cartoonists. Check out Glenn McCoy or Mike Lester sometime. In fact, I think Mike Lester had one published yesterday that made full use of a "Chinese people can't pronounce words properly ha ha" joke. And he also claimed the stimulus is worse than the Holocaust.

Puerto Rican jokes should involve bananas, Chupacabras and the Unemployment Office, not piñatas and sombreros. If he’s gonna do it, he should at list get the stereotype right.
