Anyone got a bead on the [latest Kelly cartoon](http://www.theonion.com/content/cartoon/aug-25-2008) in the Onion? It seems to be portraying the Democrats as being patriotic, which is not usually what he’s up to. Is he just being sentimentally nonpartisan? Or is it showing that Kelly is easily swayed by superficialities?
