"In a brief phone interview with CNN, Delonas called the controversy "absolutely friggin' ridiculous."

"Do you really think I'm saying Obama should be shot? I didn't see that in the cartoon," Delonas said.

"It's about the economic stimulus bill," he added. "If you're going to make that about anybody, it would be [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi, which it's not."

Col Allan, the Post's editor-in-chief, said the cartoon "is a clear parody of a current news event."

"It broadly mocks Washington's efforts to revive the economy. Again, Al Sharpton reveals himself as nothing more than a publicity opportunist," Allan said in a written statement."

As was posted on another board:

You guys are missing the joke here:


Picture refers back to police shooting of the crazed chimp a few days ago.
The "punchline" is that this crazed chimp is the one that wrote the current stimulus bill.

The monkey isn't Obama, the joke is that the stimulus bill look as if it could've been written by a crazy monkey.

Who is this person you refer to as "she" and "her"?

I hope you will somehow find a way to remove the constant thoughts of racism from your mind. It must be terribly troubling to constantly think about one thing 24/7/365. I feel sorry for you... I really, honest to God do because it is people like you that bring down others. Sad......

Racism? What color is the biggest supporter of the bill? (Obama)
Preaching hate towards democrats? No doubt about it.


It was just a few months ago when republicans were crying out load sexism
because Obama used the worn out phrase: "You can put lipstick on a pig and it's still a pig"

Stop the BS of saying "The chimp is congress, because congress wrote the stimulus bill"

99% of republicans were against the bill,
so there is NO DOUBT at all that the monkey is a democrat that supported the bill

Where do some of you shop for you're "clueless blinder googles". They must make things a lot easier.
Soooo......is Obama the first politician to be compared or depicted as a chimp?

Of course not. When the politicians stop acting like monkeys, they'll stop being compared with monkeys.

Yeah right. So what was with all the Bush = chimp cartoons and pictures over the last 8 years? Get real.
