I have never fantastized myself to be a cartoonist, but last night I had an idea for a political cartoon - you know, the kind on the Op-Ed page of a newspaper - and it came to me in a dream.
The cartoon is a drawing of a trendy velvet-roped nightclub. And George W. Bush is the doorman. One the one side is a long line of people waiting to get into the club. They are average Americans. (I think that the opening of the Statue of Liberty poem is written on them - "Your tired, your poor, etc...")
Cutting into line to get into the club is an Iraqi with a barrel of oil and a corporate baron with a dividend check.
I guess it looked better in my dream, but at any rate, it proves to you, gentle reader, what a stark-raving liberal I am.
