Ah, for the more elegant politics of a more civilized age:

Surely in the glory days of the Victorian age, politics was more civilized and more elegant than it was today. Why we lost out on a great and glorious age of civility in political discourse, when the politician from a lower-class background with a silver tongue was bashed for such an absurdity and the one who had an illegitimate child was bashed for his paying child support. What a civilized and vanished day those long-vanished times were.

And now for a completely different question, what are your favorite political cartoons?

You can see how old this cartoon is by it including genuine bayoneted rifles and what looks like the Mitralleuse, not a machine gun.
