Our DonkeyHotey doesn’t tilt at windmills. No siree. The targets of his acid-dipped digital pen aren’t imaginary or unimportant. Au contraire. They’re all too real. Each week, whether accompanying a sharp-edged op-ed or standing on their own, DonkeyHotey’s cartoons take dead aim at the evildoers who keep us up at night. Here are some of the best of 2021.

“Heil Tucker,” one fan saluted on social media after the Fox News host spewed neo-Nazi venom on his show, invoking the “great replacement” theory popular among white supremacists.

What’s going on with Vladimir Putin? First he draws a “red line” against the West, then the Kremlin announces it will withdraw the troops — though not the weapons — it’s massed along the Ukraine border.
Kevin Can’t Wait
House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy is rushing to defenestrate his Number 3, Liz Cheney, for denouncing Donald Trump’s big lie and pushing to investigate the Capitol riot.
Sen. Susan Collins Has Some Supreme Explaining to Do
Don’t expect to hear a mea culpa anytime soon from the pro-choice senior senator from Maine, who voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch while insisting they would protect abortion rights.
