Filibuster Cartoons

Well Senator McCain chose a 44-year-old woman, Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska, to be his running mate this week. It was a controversial and bold pick that has really shaken up the presidential race. A virtual unknown, the internet is now eagerly trying to dig up dirt in an attempt to destroy her.
McCain greatly overshadowed Senator Obama’s Sunday night acceptance speech with the Palin pick, but then it appeared McCain was in turn set to be overshadowed by hurricane Gustav, which struck the much-beleaguered state of Louisiana early Monday.
Gustav ended up being a far cry from Katrina, however, and the media spotlight has returned to McCain. So uh, maybe this cartoon doesn’t work so well anymore. But the wave can be metaphorical, too! Just think of something clever it could represent.
