Liberal Cartoonists to Laud Bush -- on April Fool's Day

By: Dave Astor A group of liberal cartoonists will praise President Bush this Saturday.

Needless to say, Saturday is April Fool's Day.

The drawings will be posted on cartoonist Elena Steier's AmericanBlogress.com site for about a week, Steier told E&P today. She's chairperson of the BTPBHITP Committee, which stands for "Back the President Because He Is the President."

Participating in the tongue-in-cheek effort will be cartoonists such as M.e. Cohen, August Pollack, Ted Rall, Mikhaela Reid, Jim Siergey, and Masheka Wood.

"We're asking Americans of all faiths to let go of the partisan rancor that we've helped fuel because we were annoyed at Bush over things like Iraq," said Rall, of Universal Press Syndicate. "Forget the national debt, Osama, torture, and all that stuff. We can, and so can you!"
