Here we have a lovely cartoon by Mike Lukovich of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. We have Republican Presidential candidate Newt Gingrinch in balloon form holding a sack of cash from Freddie Mac. Gingrinch landed a consultant contract with the troubled financial giant (which needed a tax payer bailout to stay afloat) worth millions of dollars. Despite this, he came out swinging against the passage of TARP. The cartoon implies (rather bluntly) that Newt is a hypocrite and is full of hot air. Lukovich is clearly a liberal (as anyone who is familar with his work knows), and that's probably a lot of the reason that I enjoy his work so much.
