WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO WIN A CARTOONING PULITZER

This year the winner was Michael Ramirez of Investor's Business Daily, which meant that all you apparently had to do on a typical day was parrot the creakiest wingnut talking points, with no wit whatsoever. Click to enlarge:






The last one, by the way, is actually one of the cartoons that appear on the Pulitzer site as an example of what made his work prize-worthy.

See the collected works here. Ramirez won in '94, too; two wins puts him even with Bill Maudlin, for heaven's sake.

IBD, by the way, has an editorial page that may be to the right of The Wall Street Journal's. (Here, for instance, is the page praising Joe McCarthy and agreeing with GOP congressman Steve King that al-Qaeda wants Obama to win.)

UPDATE: Dave Neiwert of Orcinus notes that IBD's editorial page is favorably citing immigration "research" by a guy with ties to the white supremacy movement.
