Chimp beatdown

I don't think the editor and cartoonist are racist, I just don't think they're very bright. What were they thinking? It was funny? That everyone would laugh along? Even worse than the cartoon was the response. They don't even have the ability to recognize the reception of the cartoon was not what they expected and squash the controversy as quickly as possible. No, instead we get an idiotic response to criticism with "if you’re going to make that about anybody, it would be Pelosi, which it’s not."

It could also be that maybe they are not racist so it never crossed their mind that this could be seen as racist.

If that's the case I think it proves saden's point about them not being very bright.

Slightly off the topic of monkey strength here but I really hate hearing 911 calls. Is it really necessary to release them all the time?

A few points:

1. I lay the blame for this chimpanzee business squarely at the feet of Clint Eastwood. Every Which But Loose and its brilliantly titled sequal, Any Which Way You Can apparently convinced too many people that primates make great pets.

2. As regards the NYP, most political cartoons are not funny anyway, so to fault the comic nature of the piece as a kind of fall back criticism is a little too easy. The logic seems to be "It's not explicitly racist, but we don't want to let Murdoch and his boys off the hook completely, because we know they're evil, so we will find them guilty of being unfunny."

The worst thing you can say about this cartoonist is that he should have realized that in the age of Obama, the Al Sharptons of the world have a desperate need to demonstrate that America is still as racist as ever, maybe even more so, because that's how they make their living. No racism, no money. No racism, no need for the NAACP at all.

This chimp, as I understand it, was pretty well known in the town.

This is my favorite sentence ever. May I make it my sig please? I know I am often a sarcastic bastard, but I am in bitter earnest when I say that this sentence is unparalelllled in its brilliance. I think it's the use of "This Chimp" instead of "The Chimp" that won me over. Or perhaps its the folksy clause, "As I understand it" with it's echoes of Sinclair Lewis, Thornton Wilder, and Edward Arlington Robinson, that sealed the deal. Then you go "the town" instead of "this town" or "that" town. That's how Steinbeck would have played it as well. It absloutely sings, this sentence.

Saden, an off topic item, but why do you put so many links in when you're making a point? I don't even click on 10% of them. I'd rather you just make your point on your own.

Criticism police.
Yeah, my sentiments too. it is obvious that saden doubles as a left wing blogger. He conspires to take down anything that is slightly conservative in his evil Seattle lair. Man this guy is border line dangerous on the PC.

Saden, you are way too smart, and talented to be wasting that great "potential" that you possess on those liberal ideals. Join us bat sh!t crazy right wingers, and together we can rule the galaxy. LOL

But, on a side note, what is the status of the poor lady that got mauled?

I got on the Doc Thompson show the other day and we talked about Travis the pill popping booze guzzling chimp. He agreed with me.

LMAO. What a fantastic post. Smoot's post was great, and this literary analysis is great. That was the hardest I've laughed on The Warpath in a while. Well done, fellas. Well done indeed.

What assurances do I have you won't plug me in the back soon after joining your side?

Brother, that is not how we roll. Once we are shoulder to shoulder, we are down like 4 flat tires. Peace.
