23 Feb 2009Perhaps you didn’t miss it, but if you did, let me know what you think of this cartoon in that pillar of American journalism, The New York Post:
The cartoon ran late last week and could have been expected was met with much public clamor. On the left people are calling this a racist potshot at President Obama. The righties say it’s merely an unfortunate coincidence — a simple allusion to the Chimpanzee who had recently escaped and mauled a woman in Connecticut. Yeah…
What do you think? Racist or bad timing?

It was bad, bad, bad! I can’t even believe the NY Post ran it.

Very, very, very bad. Can you really expect more from The NY Post though? They are a pretty solid awful.

I´ve heard some say “get over it, this is what free speech is all about” but to that I say I love free speech but not racism and bad taste rolled into one completely uncreative cartoon. I´m disgusted by it.
