5. Quoted in full...
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.

6. And, Mr. Post, if your feelings were hurt by the suggestion that . . .
You're a scummy sack of offal whose customers should dump you in toto, I apologize for that.
It wasn't my intent to suggest that you eat shit and die, and I'm sorry if you saw it that way. I never meant to imply that your entire existance is an insult to all that is right and good, but if that bothered you, I really hope you can get over it.
But if you did actually intend to spew racist filth, you crap-eating pigdog, well, then **** you and the horse you rode in on.
:rotf: :rotf: MrModerate?? :lmao: :lmao:

And there was what to apologize for?

That sounds like the kind of apology a Democrat would give. They should accept it wholeheartedly.

Exactly. They're not saying, "We printed it, and if it hurts your collective manginas, oh well. We're sorry that you're pussies." But you know that's implied.

You can't win with these kooks, so the NY Post shouldn't even try. It could have been a gerbil and the whackos would have said "What?? You're calling our president a gerbil!?!" :mental:

DUmmies, ya, you nuts, I KNOW you troll these hallowed halls, I have a question, if you shit-for-brains need to look for racisim everywhere, who's the racist??

I would have responded with:
"Look people, we did not publish this cartoon as any kind of racial insult! Actually we were comparing the current stimulus plan as the bovine excrement it really is. We used the chimp only because he was in the news. We believe he may have actually wrote a better stimulus bill. Nothing more, nothing intended, nothing less! We find extremely telling that we have to explain ourselves due to the PC culture we now live in!"
