Happy Easter --- Pagan or otherwise --- to all of our goyisha friends.
(And a hat-tip to PDA's Tim Carpenter. Sorry to out you Tim, but I figured you'd appreciate the link, nonetheles.)
Al Sharpton has described Sean Delonas' outrageous editorial cartoon, published in Rupert Murdoch's New York Post, as "stunning". We'd have to agree.
UPDATE 2/19/09: Protests grow outside of Murdoch's NY Post building in NYC. Details...
LATE UPDATE 2/19/09: NYPost issues unusual apology (they usually do no such thing), and it's also an unusual non-apology apology. And a fairly obnoxious one at that. We post it here in full so you don't need to give your clickage to that particular rag:

Wednesday's Page Six cartoon - caricaturing Monday's police shooting of a chimpanzee in Connecticut - has created considerable controversy.
It shows two police officers standing over the chimp's body: "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill," one officer says.
It was meant to mock an ineptly written federal stimulus bill.
Period.
But it has been taken as something else - as a depiction of President Obama, as a thinly veiled expression of racism.
This most certainly was not its intent; to those who were offended by the image, we apologize.
However, there are some in the media and in public life who have had differences with The Post in the past - and they see the incident as an opportunity for payback.
To them, no apology is due.
Sometimes a cartoon is just a cartoon - even as the opportunists seek to make it something else.
UPDATE 2/24/09: And now Rupert Murdoch himself, issues his own personal apology. RAW has it...
And Gallup has still more difficult news for old Rush...
