Sometimes a political cartoon defies even the lowest expectations of civility in public discourse, and so it is with one of the latest from The Boondocks by Aaron McGruder

> * Sometimes a political cartoon defies even the lowest expectations of civility in public discourse, and so it is with one of the latest from The Boondocks by Aaron McGruder. The cartoon relates a news broadcast on affirmative action in which Condoleezza Rice is reported to support the death penalty for "anyone who teaches a black person how to read." President Bush is said to have settled, with difficulty, on a compromise position of "just keeping black students out of college." There's not much we can say about such vileness--the accusation of murderous racism against our president and secretary of state, and by extension anyone who opposes race-based preferences--except to repeat the immortal words of Bob Dole: Where's the outrage?
