Default Herald Sun cartoon
Did anyone see the Knight cartoon in the Herald Sun today?
It has Jonny Howard in a Ford plastered with political stances and Kevin07 in a Holden plastered with ME TOO! all over it. Reguardless of your political stances I think most people here would agree with the Me Too all over the Commodore.

I suspect it is the "true blue" ribbon liberals and "worker's red" labor that is the focus of this satire rather than the vehicle type.

But it is still VERY well done....

Saw it and laughed out loud.

Rudd is the political version of Tander anyhow. :

Judging by the results on the weekend, I think Rudd may be in the wrong car. Nice cartoon nevertheless..

There is a classic in today's Courier Mail in Brisbane as well. I am looking for it on the web.
It shows a bald midget walking past two journos and one says "I thought Peter Garrett was taller". The other replies "He used to stand on his principles".
Hopefully someone can find it.
