Har har

The cartoonists responsible for that disgusting drawing ridiculing the death of Rachel Corrie have turned their subtle touch to John Kerry, with results every bit as hilarious. (It turns out that the letter the Tehran Times reprinted– and which apparently inspired the latest cartoon– was not sent to them by the Kerry campaign.)

Speaking of Kerry, Joe Conason has a good piece at Salon.com on this week’s Kerry-intern-scandal-that-wasn’t (based on an unsourced report from Internet gossip Matt Drudge). It was grimly amusing, however, to watch Instapundit and other bloggers try to fan the embers of that story.
