Regardless of what you think of the Al Sharpton outrage parade over the Sean Delonas stimulus-chimp cartoon in the New York Post (I would have spiked it just to save us all from Sharpton surfacing), which geniuses decided the best analyst of offensive cartoons is Ted Rall? From Poynter Online:

Ted Rall, president of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, doesn’t think Wednesday’s New York Post editorial cartoon was penned by a racist. But he does think it was a “misfire,” a “cheap form of editorial cartooning” that fails to carry any real commentary or message and is common in major publications today.

Rall does suggest Delonas was mocking Obama’s economic advisers, and not Obama. But what is wrong with the AAEC, to elect this guy their chief expert and pundit? They put forward that sensitive soul who cartoons the American soldier as a suicide bomber, said their “idiot” deaths abroad caused the American average IQ to soar, and who jokes about Reagan getting crispy-brown in Hell.

But most of all, someone who had Condi Rice declare herself President Bush’s “house nigga” is going to comment on racially insensitive cartoons?
