Was politics always a dirty business? We are in the middle of a campaign for the next President of the United States, and is seems that the dirty tricks brigades are more in evidence than ever. Sober debate gives way to sniping, personal abuse and nasty insinuendoes, as they say in Liverpool. If you don't understand this cartoon, I admire you. But you can be sure it's saying something nasty but totally irrelevant about Presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton. There are sound arguments why she would not be a good President, but the message of her personal inadequacy conveyed by this cartoon is not one of them.
