If you go to the mad magazine website and click "more" next to the cover photo, it'll open a PDF file with the full size image of the cover art for your amusement/printing, etc...
However, if I'm not mistaken, I think the art and the phrase are referring to Bush. I'm going to get a hard copy today to find out.

Oh my Cuba signed a Human Rights statement but later said "there is a caveat":

"Sin embargo, el gobierno cubano introdujo una declaración posterior en que se reservaba el derecho a reinterpretar algunas de las cláusulas."
Like maybe we can keep political prisoners?

jsb,
Errr, no. The face that's replaced "The Butcher of La Cabana"'s is that of Alfred E. Neumann, the "mascot" of Mad Magazine ever since it shifted from being a digest-sized, full color satire of horror and superhero comics to a magazine sized, b&w general satire monthly in the mid-50s. Any resemblance to Bush is coincidental.
