Details
George W. Bush is standing in a hole, symbolizing the budget deficit. We also see John Kerry, who is standing higher and looking down into the hole. It appears to be a debate, as both are standing behind podiums. The text in the cartoon suggests that George W. Bush has talked himself into the hole. The caption reads: "HEY, THE RULES FORBID THIS!" The subtitle reads: "LIBERAL BIG SPENDERS ARE DOWN HERE. NOT CONSERVATIVE BIG SPENDERS."
