TOPICS: Miscellaneous; Political Humor/Cartoons
KEYWORDS:
This is a hilarious cartoon with a drawn replication of the famous photo of the storm trooper aiming his machine gun at Elian when Reno and Clinton and Greg Craig had him abducted to settle a custody dispute for Fidel Castro. This was in my local newspaper this morning.

(I think I followed the "boot camp" procedure, but we'll see if this works. Never posted an image before.)

This one?

Looks like it's been stolen from someone here on FR.

I thought it was interesting that of the two "versions" of the famous photo, the artist used the one with the more terrified look from Elian. If you will recall, there was another photo taken seconds later (or before?) where Elian had a more benign (less terrified) look on his face. And that was the one preferred by the liberal Clinton/Reno-sympathetic newspapers and networks. The difference was subtle, but freepers picked it up real fast.

I got the image from Slate's political cartoon page.
The artist is Scott Stantis. The address is:
http://cagle.slate.msn.com/politicalcartoons

You could just search "political cartoons" and get all you want.
(I have to go back to boot camp for posting links.)

I hear that Reno is running for governor of Florida. I understand that she is really popular there. A lot of people remember her when she played for the Miami Dolphins.
