Chicago Tribune Censors Cartoon Critical of Ted Kennedy

How is this unfair to Kennedy?

Cheap Shot Update: Nick Kronos points out that running this cartoon would have been unfair:

It's unfair to Kennedy because it omits the fact that he's fat.

Let's see, drawing Condi Rice as an Aunt Jemima caricature who can't speak properly is acceptable in a political cartoon under the banner of "free speech" but making an abstract reference to Ted Kennedy drowning Mary Jo by driving his car into the ocean while totally tanked is worthy of censure. Example 254,992,157 of the left's hypocrisy

I guess they do not want to be accused of reminding americans about Chappaquiddick. I personally think they should have done the cartoon about the Gonzalez hearings where he had the unbelievable gall to talk about waterboard torture and making a prisoner feel as though they were drowning.

I mean I guess leaving Miss Copekne to drown was not really torture, he was confused. Maybe he was so drunk he forgot she was in the car?

The man has lost his mind.

Now publishing this would have been unfair to Kennedy:

Slamming Kennedy is like swearing in public in the 1950's - it just wasn't done because it wasn't "proper".

Problem is, now it is the medium defining what is proper, not the society. If the media would get a grasp on reality and stop spinning our society deeper into a pit of garbage, then what has happened since Mary Jo wouldn't be an issue because Teddy would have served time in total disgrace. Now disgrace is something one can have only if pointing out leftist errors.

That picture just begs for the question to be asked, who'd win a wet t-shirt contest, Ted or Michael Moore.

Posted by: Bullwinkle on February 7, 2005 01:15 PM

Oh, dammit! I'm blind!!!

Posted by: steve on February 7, 2005 01:22 PM

No, it isn't fair to their readers to expect them to be able to understand a reference to Chappaquiddick.

Posted by: Sebastian Holsclaw on February 7, 2005 01:44 PM

My eyes, they BURN!

Oh, the horror, the horror!

Posted by: Nick on February 7, 2005 01:53 PM

This picture was taken just seconds before several GreenPeace activists tried to role him back into the ocean.

GREAT POST

But it looks just a little off, is this real?

If so, like "Cadillac" said in the movie Malcomb X:

He's puttin' a hurtin' on my vision!

I am enjoying this site a lot but I do take offense to this kind of tortured. Please put a warning for those us like to keep our lunch inside our body and our eyesight.

In the famous photo of Ronald Reagan in his bathing suit, Reagan is svelte and trim by comparision and he was over 70! At the time the line for the Reagan picture was, where's the beef?

I think we've found it.

Mercy , sweet Jeebus! My EYES!

Those aren't shorts, they're the maritime signal flag for "Where's my keys?"

Yet last year, they ran (with no apology) a Dick Locher editorial cartoon which depicted Ariel Sharon as the stereotypical hook-nosed, money-grubbing jew. The ChiTrib is only good for lining birdcages and catboxes.

72 virgins:

Where's the Reagan photo? It would make a nice contrast.

Posted by: m on February 7, 2005 09:22 PM

Is everybody sure that's Kennedy in that picture?
Bare (ick) resemblance to anything I remember.

Posted by: m on February 7, 2005 09:24 PM

Sheesh, Ace, that image is now seared, seared in my mind, I tell ya!

Posted by: Fausta on February 11, 2005 10:42 AM

Not that I hold any brief for Ted Kenney or doubt that he actually looks like that, but that's a fake photo. Does any intelligent person believe for one second that Ted would be seen in public like that?

Posted by: Janet Roesler on February 11, 2005 12:10 PM

They have this mavelous invention called the telephoto lens. And if you haven't seena full figure photo of Kennedy in a suit lately ......

If mary jo could see him now. He's
just as hideous now on the outside as
he was on the inside when he let
her drown.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
