Delusions of Michael Ramirez

Our local paper ran a cartoon by Michael Ramirez captioned "Fashions for the Ignorant Celebrity". It include Mao T-Shirt, Shining Path bag, Castro fatiques, Pol Pot hat, Kim Jong Il sunglasses, USSR scarf, and Che T-shirt.

Now I am not one to care what a celebrity says, just because they are a celebrity, and I don't care much for the celebrity rags (although the Enquirer occasionally has an interesting story) but I think I would have noticed if notable individuals were speaking up for Kim, Pol Pot, and the like.

How about "Fashions for the Ignorant Right Wing Radio Talker"? Can't you see Rush Limbaugh in his Idi Amin sunglasses? Laura Schlesinger slinking about town with her makeup stashed in her Somoza Satchel? Pahlavi Polo Shirts, anyone? See Sean Hannity in his Suharto Surf Shorts! Michael Savage in his favorite Imeldas!

It's low hanging fruit people. Have a go.
