Cheny and Bush burn the Constitution

Patrick O’Connor, a friend from the LA Daily News and the mad genius behind the logo used for God’s Blog, drew this clever editorial cartoon this summer that imagined President Bush and Vice President Cheney taking the places of Barack and Michelle Obama on that controversial New Yorker cover.

I stumbled across the cartoon yesterday while checking in on Patrick’s blog, which hasn’t been updated to regularly lately.

The drawing is pretty much identical except that instead of hanging a portrait of Osama bin Laden over the fireplace in Cheney’s Oval Office—that’s right: Cheney’s wearing the pants in Patrick’s sketch—there’s a picture of Richard Nixon; instead of burning the American flag, Cheney and Bush are burning the Constitution.
