Cartoonist Draws Attention
July 25, 2003
When L.A. Times editorial cartoonist Michael Ramirez got a call from the Secret Service this week, he figured the call was a prank. But the men in black were soon at his door, with some questions about one of his cartoons. The irony might have been lost on the President’s men, but not on Ramirez. As he tells Brooke, the cartoon portrayed Bush with a gun to his head, but was actually gesture of support for the Prez.
