Of course, Al Sharpton and every other race baiter in the country is all up in arms over this (isn't it amazing how quickly they'll compare themselves to primates when nobody else does?), but the first thing that popped into my mind is that the Spendulus package reads like it was cobbled together by a monkey.

To be honest, 03, while the typical white American today doesn't, at one time, it was a common to give simian features to those of color.

I don't agree with the likes of Al $harpton or Je$$ie Jack$on, but I can see in this case where it might have been in bad taste.

In all honesty, I don't believe this was meant to be racial at all. It's a recent political cartoon, and I think it pulled this bit of recent news: http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/news/world/crazed-chimp-ripped-off-womans-face/2009/02/19/1234632928597.html

Chimpanzee was shot by the police after attacking woman.

Sorry buddy, but the only way that it could logically have been construed to be "racial" is if one is predisposed to look for racial slander at every turn. The cartoon specifically says "write" the stimulus bill, not sign it, and since the Kenyan illegal immigrant didn't write it, how can it be "racist"? Then again, how can one expect the race baiters to utilize logic?

On the other hand, if I were to point out the uncanny resemblence between the Kenyan illegal immigrant and Curious George, that could be construed to be "racial".

Oh, believe me my friend, I thought of monkeys and typwriters producing Shakespeare more than anything racial. In fact, race didn't even enter my thoughts.

The problem is that the monkeys and their typewriters are the Dim-O-Craps who have been holding on to all of these "pet projects" and Socialist spending garbage, in many cases (like Pelosi's mice) for years because they knew that there was no way that President Bush would sign them into law. Now that they've got the Kenyan illegal immigrant in the Oval Office, they know that no matter what it is that they put on his desk, he'll rubber stamp it.

It's obviously just making a joke off the chimp that got shot by cops recently. The line of thought was obviously more along the lines of "dumb animal gets shot + dumb bill gets written = funny cartoon" not racism.

My views on this comic:

1. It's hilarious, actually.
2. It's just like what Fjer said: "dumb animal gets shot, dumb bill gets written"
3. What's hilarious is that Obama has more European descent than he does African...

I think along with that should have been published the three monkeys - Hear no evil, Speak no evil, See no evil. Now that Hussain's got everyone in his hypnotic spell and the Dimocrats know they can get their way they fit right in.

Hussain's stuplious bill is pathetic. If I ran my business and house hold like he is running the government, my wife and I would have everything taken away and we would be living in the streets!!
