It’s gonna be a slugfest in the leadup to the US elections this year. No trick will be too low. My bet is that the Republican supporters will be the dirtiest, and they’re starting out nicely with this cartoon of Kerry (detail snippet below) where it’s pretty plain to me that it’s no mistake that his hairdo looks just like a turban and his long face has been drawn out to look like a beard. Just you watch – this will be a theme that sneaks in all over.
