I had seen this cartoon on Cagle's cartoon site on MSNBC. I interpreted a little differently than you seem to be. To me, it showed how problematic Sotomayor's nomination is for the GOP. The party base has gone ape-sh*t (but that's what they are) over it, but the politicians are having trouble because attacking her could harm them with women and Latinos.
Damn, could that be any more racist? Why not have Obama riding a burro, drinking tequila and shooting some pistols in the air while getting poked in the ass with a cactus?
*Iraq War Documentarian Jason Coppola:"Comparing the editorial pages of the newspaper concerning protests, one thing becomes strikingly clear. According to the The Oklahoman, as soon as the Iraqi people gather together in the streets of Baghdad, Fallujah, and Mosul with tea bags dangling from their hats, their resistance against the occupation of their country will finally be understood. And newspapers, like The Oklahoman, will sympathize and be reminded of what it is like to fight empire, in solidarity with the Iraqi people...and their tea."
