Title
- Old tanglefoot -- and he's stuck with it
Summary
- Cartoon shows an elephant (labeled "GOP Administration") raging as his feet stick to flypaper (labeled "McCarthyism"). A laughing Democratic donkey says "I know just how you feel, Big Boy." Comments on the frustration of President Eisenhower and members of his administration as Senator Joseph McCarthy opposed government appointments of Eisenhower's former chief of staff, General Walter Bedell Smith, Harvard president James B. Conant, and State Department official Charles E. Bohlen. Suggests satisfaction on the part of the Democrats who had been targets of McCarthy during the Truman Administration. Leo Roche (1888-1974) cartooned for the Buffalo Courier-Express for at least 20 years.
