Friday Satire

- Like the rest of us, Doonesbury has been following the Bolton nomination saga all week, with some excellent strips: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and today. And obviously ScrappleFace wasn't quite prepared for yesterday's events: they headlined recently "Terrified Senators Set to Confirm Bolton." Republicans only planned to support Bolton, they say, in order to get away from "the shadow of the mustache."

- The Capitol Steps take up Tom DeLay's tribulations in "What a Difference DeLay Makes" [ram format].

- The "grenade incident" in Tbilisi prompted this from Andy Borowitz. All sorts of phony things were going on, apparently!

- Also from Borowitz, "Rumsfeld Upgrades Iraq From Quagmire to Morass."

- Pizza can persuade anyone, The Onion reports - even some tired senators.
