Well, politics have erupted yet again over that very cartoon you posted. Which everyone with a functioning brain should know combines two simple things -- the sad innocent that happened yesterday where an elderly woman was attacked by an out of control chimpanzee, which police then had to shoot AND the current economic crisis and the bailout bill, which polls show everyone basically hates and really was written by a bunch of dumb monkeys (ie. Congress).
Of course now the Left is out in force and all over talk shows, calling that cartoon a racist slur against Obama (even though the monkey is clearly meant to symbolize EVERYONE that's in government right now), plus they're bitching that the idea of even alluding to him being a chimp is demeaning to the office of the Presidency.
Which I find laugh out loud funny (and utterly hypocritical) since the far Left just spent the last 8 years openly calling and nicknaming Bush "the chimp".
So, I guess it was okay to label Bush a chimp or use images portraying him as a monkey, yet when you call Obama that it becomes grounds for censorship and demanded public apologies and all sorts of pther things. Which brings us full circle to my post above about the laughable idea that today's mainstream media will ever go after Obama fairly versus acting as his perpetual press secretary and protector.
