US politics cartoons of the week: 3rd January 2015

The US cartoonists have been particularly active over the holiday break so I’ve selected three cartoons.

The first makes fun of GOP leader Steve Scalise for allegedly giving a speech to a KKK audience in 2002. He claims he didn’t know. NB: toga party = costume party.

The second cartoon has Obama assessing the odds of Gitmo prisoners being a threat upon release.

Finally it wasn’t the Americans who busted the North Korean internet a couple of weeks ago…..

[UPDATE]: Added the word ‘allegedly’ to the line above the first cartoon.
