FRIENDS OF MIKE

BILL O'REILLY

“Michael Ramirez says more in one cartoon than most talking heads say in a full day. Plus, Ramirez is hilarious.”


SEAN HANNITY

“The quickest way to end all debate with liberals is to pull out a cartoon by Michael Ramirez. Michael has an uncanny ability to cut through all the spin and expose the truth in a single, often hilarious, picture.”


ANN COULTER

"In today's political environment where liberals hide behind the label of "progressive" and moderates pose as "conservatives," Michael Ramirez strips them of their disguises. His powerful points of view are conveyed in an incomparable illustrative style. No other editorial cartoonist today can match the majesty and wit of Michael Ramirez's cartoons. With his razor-sharp eye and potent pen, Ramirez takes no prisoners. Liberals, bureaucrats and imposters beware."


GEORGE F. WILL

“As a columnist who works with words, I strongly reject the familiar axiom that a picture is worth a thousand words. Unless, of course, they are the marvelous pictures that Michael Ramirez draws. They are sometimes worth a thousand columns. And -- this really is unfair -- he gets to add his always well-chosen words to his pictures. See, for example, his cartoon where a public school official lays down the law to a clergyman: ‘You can't say prayers during graduation ceremonies. But if you print them on condoms we would be happy to distribute them.’ What fun.”


ROBERT D. NOVAK

“Who said you can’t be conservative and funny at the same time? I found myself laughing and nodding my head. Michael Ramirez, one of America’s great political cartoonists, packs a real wallop.”


MIKE HUCKABEE

“Editorial cartoonists are able to convey in a simple, yet vivid and powerful message what the columnist often needs 1000 words to do. The best cartoons -- funny or sobering and serious -- are like an unexpected punch to the gut. The brilliance of a great editorial cartoon is its simplicity in carrying great substance. If editorial cartooning were baseball Michael Ramirez would be Babe Ruth. If you like really cutting edge political humor and want to laugh and cry at the foibles of America’s political figures, this book is for you."


LARRY KUDLOW

“I'm a long-time Investor’s Business Daily reader, so I know and appreciate Michael's work first-hand. While some editorial cartoonists focus on the punch line and forget the point, Michael seamlessly mixes humor with hard-hitting journalism. His two Pulitzers are well deserved.”


MICHELLE MALKIN

“Mike Ramirez's pen is a weapon of mass destruction: lethal, explosive, and always on target. From Hollywood to Washington to Iran, no blowhard is safe. No sacred cow is immune. A picture may be worth 1,000 words. This collection of Ramirez's finest work: Priceless.”

P.J. O'ROURKE

“Michael Ramirez gives new meaning to the phrase “drawn and quartered.”  Rather than be depicted in a Ramirez cartoon, most politicians would choose to be chopped into fourths and disembowled.”


PETE WILSON

“One Michael Ramirez cartoon is worth far more than a thousand editorials. Heaven help the publicly pompous, fraudulent or incompetent butts of his brilliant, wickedly witty pen.”


ARTHUR B. LAFFER

“Insightful, impactful, frighteningly beautiful, and often hilarious political commentary on our world. Ramirez’s editorial cartoons would always be funny if the punchline weren’t often very sad.”


WILLIAM J. O’NEIL

“To achieve the Pulitzer Prize in one’s lifetime is no small feat. For Michael Ramirez to earn two Pulitzers puts his editorial cartoons and analyses in a league of their own. In the following pages of Everyone Has the Right to My Opinion, it’s immediately evident why Michael’s legacy will be as one of the greatest editorial cartoonists of our time. We’re proud to provide the platform for Michael’s great work in the pages of Investor’s Business Daily.”
