Taking a Liberty...

I read the other day that Tony Blair has been awarded a Liberty medal (plus $100,000, which he is generously donating to two charities - the Tony Blair Faith Foundation and the Tony Blair Africa Governance Initiative), for "bringing liberty to people around the world". The medal is to be presented to him in an official ceremony by his old mucker, Bill Clinton.

I make no further comment, but it does give me an excuse to resurrect the following old political cartoon I did for the Daily Record, when the two then-World-leaders met in a summit at the height of the Monica Lewinsky Scandal.

With a few white hairs added, the cartoon might equally well apply to this latest news, only with the speech bubble tails changed around, and any stains more reddish in nature...

  1. I think this must be the second best bloggage on cartoons out there Mr Bright. Excellent stuff.

    It's true what they say. You do give good blog! Please keep it up. Mussell fishing is over-rated!

  2. High praise indeed, which indeed it is, coming from no bigger blogger than the great Leondra Gubbins. I'm touched. No need to ask who has the best cartoon blog out there of course, but I constantly aspire to her suchlike heights.

  6. Sorry.
    I didn't understand a word of what Tootsie was saying and decided to join in.

  7. Tootsie's literary style has been likened to that of Chaucer. Chichi Parish thinks so, anyway. It probably works best if you read it out loud, phonetically, like, and then try to interpret the meaning.
