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.

The next time someone in Austin yells cuss words at me and my little red Mini Cooper with all the bumper stickers, I’m gonna shout right back:
You’d better put some lipstick on that.

“IBD did the right thing,”
I agree. We don’t need to stoop to their level. Making too big a deal out of this makes us look petty. Give them all the rope they need.

When Obama complains that the McCain campaign is being hypersensitive and fabricating controversy over imagined slights,
...it’s the pot calling the kettle black.

Mass nationwide mailings of lipstick containers to the Obama campaign would be a good thing.
