I could have pretty easily have done without ever knowing this cartoon, or catoonist, exists. I dont always understand precisely why this site chooses to give voice to the preposterous things certain people (Franken, Limbaugh, Imus, etc…) choose to say on their hate filled radio shows, but giving shock jocks more attention does little to accomplish the end goal, which is hopefully to silence them.

I guess everyone has a right to their opinions, but I for one am sick of hearing them. From both sides.

It is a shame that Mr. Russert died, he was a good and fair journalist, one of the few in this day in age, but lets leave it at that. No need to give ink to those who wish to politicize it.

This cartoon was drafted with malice and in bad taste. The Cartoonist has a right to illustrate, but any intelligent, civil human being would find this detestable. However, I suppose we as a society have watched willingly as taste, tact and dignity wane to oblivion. (see post above)

Limbaugh just spit on the graves of the Katrina victims in his rush to turn the recent floods into proof that whites are superior to blacks. Where was your outrage then?

Limbaugh couldn’t die soon enough for my tastes. He’s that much of a disgrace to civilized society. A coward and a traitor to his country.

I don’t see it saying “It should have been Rush.”. It does say in my view that we lost the better journalist and frankly, from everything I’ve read about the two of them, the better person. And if there is anything that the caption is applied to fairly often, that’s one of them that I’ve heard a lot of.
