Is the New York Post calling the President of the United States a chimp?
Maybe not, but I can see how some would interpret it that way.
I was alerted to this picture by a link from Huffington Post. Maybe I'm just being too sensitive... the article does allow for the possibility that "the cartoon [only] suggests that the stimulus bill was so bad, monkeys may as well have written it." Rabid chimps may have been in the news for the last couple of days, but come on.
I understand that a cartoonist's job (in this case, Sean Delonas) is to stir up controversy, and I'm always one for freedom of expression, but this even strikes ME as being in bad taste. Seems like it goes WAY too far to the point of being mean and hateful.
You're an enlightened crowd. What do you think?
