Much has been written about Newsweek and the Koran-in-the-toilet flap, so I won't go on a long harangue here. Blaming the riots on a little blip in a magazine and nothing else that might be going on makes you a world-class boob, hence the premise of this week's cartoon.

There are two things to keep in mind about the Newsweek story and others like it. First, reporting that is unflattering to the Bush government is not "liberal." The Brainwashed seem to think that any news that does not glorify their dear leader is automatically "biased."

Secondly, it is not the media's fault that the administration pursues asinine policies without taking into account how they will be perceived. Defiling Islam as an interrogation tactic? Oh, that could never backfire.
