THAT’S the spirit!

April 4, 2006

I noticed this yesterday, and apparently Socialist Swine noticed it too…

An Australian newspaper did a cartoon of the Indonesian president copulating with a dog, and an Indonesian newspaper fired back with something similar about the Australian Prime Minister.

Mr Howard, however, said he was unfazed.

“I’ve been in this game a long time. If I got offended by cartoons – golly heavens above, give us a break,” he said, adding that he planned to visit Indonesia soon.

That’s the spirit!  Fight cartoons with cartoons! Everybody gets a good laugh and we move on. With enough practice, we can get over getting all bent out of shape over insults.

Anybody know where we can see the cartoons in question?
