She's stuck way back in traffic in a Hummer with a tear falling from one eye.

Unfortunately the Statue of Liberty doesn't appear in this cartoon.  How come 
we don't rate?

This is what Wikipedia has to say about the cartoon feature in the Onion:


An editorial cartoon drawn by "Kelly", a fictional character; the cartoons are 
actually the work of Ward Sutton.[37] The comic—the most controversial feature 
in The Onion[9]—is a deadpan parody of conservative cartoons, as well as 
editorial cartoon conventions in general.[37] Roughly half of the cartoons 
feature the Statue of Liberty, usually shedding a single tear.


And here's what they say about Ward Sutton:


He also illustrates and writes a cartoon for The Onion under the pseudonym of 
'Kelly', depicting the far-fetched Republican and Fundamentalist Christian 
one-panels of a middle-aged cartoonist. According to Onion President Sean Mills 
in an interview with Wikinews, the cartoon has generated "a lot of heat."[1] 
"He has a very unique take on what is going on in the world," said Mills, "and 
it does tend to upset some people, but that’s the job of an editorial 
cartoonist, to be a provocateur."
