The Secret Service is studying a pro-Bush cartoon in the Los Angeles Times, showing the president with a gun to his head, as a possible threat, U.S. officials said on Monday.

“We’re aware of the image and we’re in the process of determining what action if any can be taken,” John Gill, Secret Service spokesman, said.

The cartoonist, Michael Ramirez, oddly enough meant the image to have a pro-Bush message.

I’m certainly not a Shrubya supporter, but does anybody remember freedom of speech?
