Doctor Rumsfeld

Tom Toles is a pretty good cartoonist, ain't he? Me, my all time favorite would have to be Jim Borgmann, but Toles, yeah, he's good sometime. His latest depiction of Rumsfeld as a doctor in charge of his patient,symbolized by am American soldier, bandaged over practically the entirety of his body, minus the arms and legs he is bereft of, would seem to be right on the money. Funny, I can't remember what paper that first appearred in, of course, Toles is a syndicated cartoonist, so I guess it appearred in a bunch of them, but that doesn't really matter either. Thanks to Rumsfeld, everybody and their dog knows about the cartoon, or at least ten times the number of people who would ordinarily have been aware of it.

Of course, I guess the whole point of Rumsfelds ojection and rant about the cartoon was that it wasn't so much an insult to him. H wants tomake sure we all understand that this is, actually, an insult to American soldiers everywhere.

Riiiiggghhhtt, Rummy.
