When I first saw the cartoon, the monkey reminded me of an idea the evolutionists have, namely, that a series of monkeys, given enough time, could randomly type out Shakespeare's plays. Then, the second thing that occurred to me was that monkey that killed someone, the one in the news recently. The third thing that occurred to me is that the cartoonist is saying the stimulus package is so badly designed that it looks like a monkey is responsible for it.
The point is simply that the monkey in the cartoon was not a depiction of any racial stereotype.
