World Views of our Election Mess: How Cartoonists Around the World See Our Electoral Circus

RELATED CONTENT

, Slate Magazine
We've heard those nasty rumors that the rest of the world is laughing at us. Well, here's proof. Slate magazine has assembled a collection of cartoons from around the world that poke fun at our presidential. . . ahem. . . 'situation.' In a gleefully gloating tone, the cartoons satirize everything from democracy to bipartisanship to the U.S.'s bloated self-importance. In particular, several of the cartoons parody the manual handcounting to which the U.S., usually a technological powerhouse, has had to resort. One Mexican cartoon, for example, depicts a disgruntled Statue of Liberty handcounting ballots on an abacus while a dismantled computer and monitor burn beside her. Ouch!
