I haven't come down one way or another on this issue. I'm just trying to understand caricatures in general. I don't know what Oliphant was trying to convey, really. I saw a drawing of condi rice's head imposed on the body of a bird which was obviously some kind of parrot.

I've read the different comments here and I understand why some people thought it was racist. I also understand it was an attack on her intelligence.

When I see caricatures in magazines, newspapers or on line, I'm generally been very turned off and usually disgusted. I have come to expect that caricatures are nasty and unflattering. I think that's the whole idea.

But the issue for me is why Condelezza Rice can be caricatured like this, and nary a word from our more liberal friends.

I suspect if it had been a democrat president that had nominated her for Secretary of State we'd all be hearing/reading/seeing a different story. I can't prove it though, since it's never happened.
