Presidential Paranoia

Okay first, take a look at this cartoon:



Okay, it's an annoying cartoon. As the cartoonist puts it:

Ramirez said that he used the image because it represented to him the "political assassination" of Bush. "President Bush is the target, metaphorically speaking, of a political assassination because of 16 words that he uttered in the State of the Union," he said, referring to the controversy over Bush's accusation that Iraq was trying to buy uranium in Africa.

But the Secret Service sure doesn't see it that way. They've already questioned him, considering the cartoon to be a threat.

And of course the frightening thing is this is what the Bush Administration does to its supporters. See when a leader is so afraid of threats that he fears even his supporters what is that other than a tyrant?

Okay, maybe I am overreacting here. But Bush's presidency has been one long string of unaccountability and paranoia. This is just one more step.
