Lipstick on a Pig -- the Political Cartoon too hot for Investor's Business Daily?

Earlier today, Investor's Business Daily posted a cartoon from their resident genius, Michael Ramirez, which perfectly captured the essence of Barry Obama's "lipstick on a pig" comment. Copyright restrictions do not allow us to display the toon on Free Republic, but as of the time of this writing, you can view the Mr. Ramirez' artwork HERE.
Later this afternoon, IBD deleted the cartoon from their website, and as you can see HERE, it is no longer listed in Ramirez' archives.
Obviously, the heat's on IBD from the mavens of political correctness.
In my opinion, the only remaining questions now are whether they will pull the above link and when.

I saw it earlier today and don’t understand the deletion. OK, NObomba has pig ears, er, big ears, and wears lipstick. So what?

IBD did the right thing, this cartoon is too stupid and is not worth to be published by one of the best publications in the country. Ramirez is always good but he screwed up badly on this one.

“Lipstick on a ‘pig’”? No, that's lipstick on a Marxist.

What was IBD so worried about? Offending libs or Islamists? Pretty gutless in either case.

Huh? The first link leads to the IBD website, from which you say they pulled it?!

Yeah, I agree.
Ramirez is consistently great.
The IBD is consistently excellent.
Neither of them needed to 'push the envelope' with this cartoon. Not all that funny, and it almost descends into 'Toles territory' -- which is a gutter you want to stay out of...

Me thinks the effect would have been better without the caption, which is obviously implied.
