About this cartoon: The midterm national elections saw a wave -- a "blue" wave -- of voter dissatisfaction with the Bush Administration, especially its war in Iraq, and with the Republican Congress and its many scandals, with Democrats winning back both the House and the Senate, as well as big gains in the states. Finally, Bush no longer had a free hand or a rubber-stamp Congress facing him.
