Ted Rall hits the wall
Finally an answer to the question "What do you have to do to get your editorial cartoon pulled by WashingtonPost.com?"
Attacking those who dared let their loved ones die on 9/11? No, not enough.
Ridiculing NFL-player-turned-Afghan-casualty Pat Tillman as a racist idiot? Tolerable.
Apparently, it was this....
Rall said he thinks the site dropped his work because of a Nov. 4 cartoon he did showing a drooling, mentally handicapped student taking over a classroom. "The idea was to draw an analogy to the electorate -- in essence, the idiots are now running the country," he told E&P.
Ya think? Dude. It's not funny, it's merely offensive without insight. Not that you're a man who'd recognize civilized discourse if it spit in your face. You're not half as clever or as insightful as you think you are.

Though I did want to get out my red pen and change "mentally handicapped student" to "student with disabilities"... too much pc editing in my blood to stop!!!
But, wow... what a lovely human being this "artist" is...
