Dan Wasserman of The Boston Globe is one of America's most refreshing editorial cartoonists. His visual skits - sharp, sly, humorous and memorable, choreographed in one to six frames - show no mercy.

Like all the folks with tribal heritage coming forward to point out what an idiot he is. With a maternal grandfather who was full Cherokee (no we never made claims either) I find this guy hilarious, well, if he wasn’t being such a bigot.

Mr. Wasserman, that was darn funny! BTW: making your Senate staff perform a fake wardance, is that still within the ethic rules of the Senate? Just asking…

Isn’t that the woman who lied for years about being a native American to get special treatment (college, etc.)? Do we really need another liar in the goverrnment? Seems we have enough now. She should be ashamed of herself. And what is wrong with people who would vote for such a person? Where are your ethics and morals? Lose them in the landfill did you?

MORTY: Suddenly you’re worrying about the ethics rules of Congress? Where were you when Harry Reid was/is spouting his nonsense?

The only liar around here seems to be you. And no, she did not get “special treatment.” The only reason to bring this up is to try and make her look like a liar and avoid looking at the consistent behavior she has shown for decades now. She’s a smart, competent defender of regular Americans. Your snide and ill-informed remarks do not speak well of you or your information sources. Here is her exact statement:
“Growing up, my mother and my grandparents and my aunts and uncles often talked about our family’s Native American heritage. As a kid, I never thought to ask them for documentation – what kid would? – but that doesn’t change the fact that it is a part of who I am and part of my family heritage.
The people involved in recruiting and hiring me for my teaching jobs, including Charles Fried – solicitor-general under Ronald Reagan who has publicly said he voted for Scott Brown in 2010 – have said unequivocally they were not aware of my heritage and that it played no role in my hiring. Public documents that reporters have examined also show I did not benefit from my heritage when applying to college or law school. As I have confirmed before, I let people know about my Native American heritage in a national directory of law school personnel. At some point after I was hired by them, I also provided that information to the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard. My Native American heritage is part of who I am, I’m proud of it and I have been open about it.”
