Simmons, Fitz. Cartoon. Political Cartoons.com. n.d.
The vice-presidential debate on Thursday will not show who is better on the issues, but who is more polished, this evident for Senator Biden, whose aides are working relentlessly in order to make him politically correct. Biden, the first image in the cartoon is being told by aides using cards, a board, a doll and threats that if he doesn’t refrain from comments like “Governor may I say you are literally drop-dead gorgeous” an Obama aide will taser him blue. Known for speaking his mind, Biden has said true yet offensive statements in the past and a comment about Sarah Palin’s looks, may be viewed as sexist, hurting his campaign. One aide, in an attempt help Senator Biden is holding a professional looking Sarah Palin doll. A comment about Palin’s looks would be viewed as an attempt to undermine her abilities as a professional as they would not be in consideration if she was a man. Senator Biden is old fashion and a comment about looks, in our current political world, can be viewed as sexist.
