Are We There Yet?

Pat Oliphant leaves no world event unskewered. From Saddam to Yeltsin, big tobacco to the IRS, the Middle East to Bosnia-all are subjects of Oliphant's keen eye and savage wit. He'll take on any issue, equally willing to challenge both Republicans and Democrats, with ease and hilarity. Anyone looking for the lighter side to a situation need turn only to Oliphant. Simply put, Oliphant is the most important political cartoonist of the 20th century. His trademark wit-shared with his ardent fans who read the more than 300 daily and Sunday newspapers that carry his work-has tormented presidents, dogged members of Congress, and critiqued a whole host of issues. In Are We There Yet?, Oliphant continues to find the antics of the Washington elite worthy of his considerable talent. The Clinton scandal and impeachment trial alone were rife with Oliphant opportunities-which he took with glee. Newt Gingrich's resignation. Gore's campaign finance difficulties. Henry Hyde's investigative tenacity. All were fertile, ripe for Oliphant's wit, and ready to enjoy again within the pages of Are We There Yet?
