[[and issued an apology explaining that they did not review Telnaes’ work prior to publishing.]]

No. You’re a coward that won’t fight.

You make a lot of fuss, but in the end, let them steamroll you with dirty tricks.

While squashed in to the gutter, you feel good about being superior in not fighting with the same tactic.

I completely understand. It was so appalling to me at the time that I bookmarked it (knowing that it would probably disappear). The “retardedbaby.com” link isn’t even preserved in the wayback archive.

WASHINGTON COMPOST'S excuse was weak and contrived.

NO SALE.

They knew exactly what was published and had that cartoon depicted the Obama daughters, it would have gone immediately into the TRASH bin!!

The right thing to do, thus hypocritical for the Washington Compost.

They should never have allowed it to be published in the first place -- but it reveals what they really think.

Time after time, they'll show you who scares them, whom they fear.

"It's generally been the policy of our editorial section to leave children out of it," Post editor Fred Hiatt said in a statement.

"I failed to look at this cartoon before it was published.

Then, who is doing your job, Fred?

Are you not the editor, and is not the editorial page the one that speaks for your paper?

What were looking at? Trump's schlong?

Above and beyond all the rabble roused on this thread, the deep-down basic thing is that Cruz ran a hilarious ad — on Saturday Night Live, no less! — that skewered ridiculous politicians both Democrat and Republican and got hundreds of thousands of views. “Official Washington” just can’t stand for something like that. Hence, this childish, humorless cartoon.

Cruz and Trump have “Official Washington” scared as hell. I think its denizens are nervously watching the decades-old gravy train recede in the distance.

It’s okay - no one is getting fired and they’re not sorry.

Have a nice day. :)

Anyone get a screen shot of this disgusting event? WaPo’s feigned outrage is about as believable as an Obama Press Conference.

I had to go look up a ‘gibbet’ and I discovered the Halifax Gibbet! You learn something new every day! Thank you my friend and Merry Christmas to you and to yours!

I can not describe my opinion of the media accurately without being banned for life.


Maybe my tag line will help?

I also like Pat Caddell’s description of the media: Enemies of the American people.
