I despise editorial cartoons - illustrators who think they're funny by going for the low blow, the belly punch, the cheap laugh.
Illustrators are like mimes without the makeup.
I couldn't believe that a regional paper would publish all that, so I did a little digging. The original cartoon does NOT contain the text at the bottom or the ACLU imprint:

Someone else obviously modified it for their own ends. (Not that MacKinnon doesn't skewer Obama in numerous cartoons, but he appears to pick on all walks of politicians.)
I was going to reply with basically the same thing that anonymous did. For anyone interested - here's an article about it...

I agree the cartoon sucks in it's altered state. However, as far as editorial cartoonists go, we will have to agree to disagree. I love editorial cartoons. :-)
