TAPPER: Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature this week, which got us wondering what the bard might have to say about this campaign or if he has already had some things to say. It's the subject of this week's "State of the Cartoonion."</s>TAPPER (voice-over): Bob Dylan has never shied away from politics.</s>BOB DYLAN, ARTIST (singing): Come senators, congressman, please heed the call. Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall.</s>TAPPER: But what can you say about politics this year? And a campaign in which the size of a candidate's -- um -- manhood was discussed on stage at a debate.</s>DYLAN: For the times they are a-changing.</s>TAPPER: Wind has been a favorite Dylan motif. Blowing through songs from "Subterranean Homesick Blues" to "Idiot Wind." A song that has lyrics Donald Trump might identify with.</s>DYLAN: Someone's got it in for me. They're planting stories in the press. Whoever it is I wish they'd cut it out. When they will I can only guess.</s>TAPPER: Over in the halls of Congress, House Speaker Paul Ryan is trying to run from Trump.</s>DYLAN: How does it feel to be on your own with no direction home?</s>TAPPER: While Hillary Clinton's campaign claims they cannot authenticate whether emails exposing her politics tactics are authentic.</s>DYLAN: No, no, no it ain't me, babe. It ain't me you're looking for, babe.</s>TAPPER: But perhaps the Dylan prose were most thinking about today have to do with how most Americans might be feeling at this point in the election.</s>DYLAN: It's not dark yet but it's getting there.</s>TAPPER: Thanks for watching. "FAREED ZAKARIA GPS" is next.
