Disability metaphor: Republicans as blind beggar
February 2nd, 2009
From the New York Times, a cartoon by Barry Blitt that portrays the Republican party as a stereotypical blind beggar, complete with dark glasses, pencils and a tin cup. A sign around his neck says “No vision.”
The cartoon accompanies a Frank Rich column about the economic stimulus package.
Blitt is the cartoonist who stirred controversy last year with his New Yorker cover depicting the Obamas as terrorists in the Oval Office.
