About damn time! Now if the Compost would also drop Dana Milbank, EJ Dionne, Richard Cohen, William Rasperry, and pick up mark Steyn, I might consider re-subscribing!
And some of it is funny to a lot of awful people!!
What about...they can't afford to lose anymore customers?
Chris Muir is a much better political cartoonist. He's on break until 12/1, due to a family member's recent cancer death. Check out his past work at http://www.daybydaycartoon.com/Default.aspx
And it's about damn time, too!
"Ted Rall does very interesting work," Feaver said. "Some of it is not awful to an funny lot of people."
His racist Condi cartoons might have helped push him out, although the Washington Post might not want to admit it.
Rall was dropped because of his disgusting racist cartoon about Condi Rice. The WashPost could care less about flyover country being portrayed as mentally retarded.
"Ted Rall does very interesting work," Feaver said. "Some of it is not funny to an awful lot of people"
Even though they dropped his comic strip, they still don't get it. Rall is not a satirist, his work is just thinly veiled hate. He's just not funny. Even if I was a leftie I would say the same thing.
Circulation was down 10% at the Washington Post (before the audit?). Ted Rall helped speed that decline, as well as the migration from Old Media to New Media by those seeking timely and reliable news reporting.
Rall and about a dozen other are nationaly syndicated while their material isn't fit for street newpaper, IMHO.
Translation..........."the election is over, we lost despite everything we did. It is now time to reassess our methods."
This makes me very happy. I have had the displeasure of communicating with this idiot via email. We went back and forth several times over a cartoon in which he depicted President Bush as a Nazi. This was shortly after 9/11 and having to do with Rall's displeasure over the Patriot Act.
In typical liberal fashion, he just kept repeating buzzwords and soundbites, none of it terribly intelligent and all of it aggravating and condescending.
Thank God that the people have spoken and *someone* (The Washington Post - I'll be darned!) is listening.
You are probably correct. I didn't become familiar with the idiot's cartoons until after 9/11 when I started reading Cagle's politicalcartoons.com:
http://cagle.slate.msn.com/politicalcartoons//
He's not one of their featured cartoonists, but there is a link to his junk there. There are plenty of liberal cartoonists on Cagle's site but none quite as offensive as rall.
