The cartoon used with my essay in The Washington Times ("Undue Disrespect," November 4, 2006)was the Michael Ramirez cartoon of November 1, 2006 from Investors Business Daily:

Kerry's dream
"Many months ago, I penned a column asking John Kerry to go away, or at least back to the U.S. Senate to pursue elder statesmanship instead of further national political ambition," John Brummett writes in the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
"Alas, he has not done so," Mr. Brummett said. "So, the Democrats must try to win the midterm elections while carrying Big John on their backs as they endeavor to extract his big foot from his big mouth. I'm not sure they have either the strength or dexterity.
"Apparently Kerry carries the notion that Hillary Clinton won't run for president or can't win and that Barack Obama's bright flame will flicker. Apparently he carries the notion that -- Evan Bayh, John Edwards, Wes Clark and Bill Richardson aside -- he would then naturally ascend to carry his party's banner again. ... The problem is that there usually are sound reasons a politician loses an election. It's probably that he's not a good candidate. That was, and remains, Kerry's problem."
Very nice article and cartoon.
Barack is fresh, that's true, but he's got Chicago political stink all over him:
