Internet intellectuals always seem to morph into internet tough guys…too funny! Look, if you want to take something/anything out of context and turn it into your own personal “I am offended” rant, go ahead, you have that right, at least for now! I think that most of the outrage about this topic on this thread is ostentatious and phony, but by all means, knock yourselves out. The pettiness that people display is hilarious. My take on the cartoon? I am no more offended by that depiction of “fill in the blank” than I am of the depiction of any government official or celebrity that ends up in a satirical display. That’s the price you pay for putting yourself in that position. Of course, those that make the comparison to the endless degrading cartoons of George Bush are right. Where was the outrage from the left? Double standards, and hypocrisy seem to be the order of the day… eat up!
