392. The clear indication is not that the bill was written poorly
whether or not it was; The insinuation was correctly identified in your later paragraphs as something the pugs do not like period, no matter how it was written. But now we are delving into the pug mind of the cartoonist. The fact that it was clear to any honest editor that the cartoon was, in the least, offensive to most people and especially to blacks; Editors who should have squelched the cartoon even on the ambiguousness alone. That we have called B*sh a chimp all these years is a red herring; He is white and there is no mistake implied or otherwise as to the meaning of that humor. Blacks have for over a century been cartooned as monkeys; O is black and this bill is considered by most to be his doing, so the whole effect of the cartoon is plain pug malice no matter what cover story they contrive. Yes I did write the post before I learned or connected it to the chimp shooting but still hold that the cartoon was offensive on too many levels to ever have been published.
