Condi as Sexual Object

I watched from afar, much to my delight, as the Democracy Project site was Instalaunched by Glenn Reynolds for Win’s cataloguing and analyzing the racist depictions of Dr. Rice appearing in cartoons from newspapers across the country. If I had easier access to a computer, I would have noted that just as equally egregious, if not more so as we on the Right have always known that the Left patronizes African-Americans (which of course is why they are proponents of affirmative action), is the implicit sexual innuendo and infidelity proposed by Garry Trudeau in his “Brown Sugar” cartoon here. Isn’t ironic that Trudeau – the Maureen Dowd of the cartoon world – believes it incapable for a man and a woman to have a professional and personal friendship that doesn’t cross the line into the physical or romantic context? I assert that it’s Trudeau, not Bush, who has fantasies of “Brown Sugar,” seeing Dr. Rice as a sexual object rather than a successful African-American woman. Jane Pauley better watch out.
