Once again, the New York Post has gone too far. Here we have yet another case of a mainstream publication using racist imagery to create controversy. At this time, the paper has not released a formal statement, explaining their actions. All calls to the paper have been forwarded to their public relations agency, with no response. I am just waiting to hear their explanation for this one. Who is the chimp supposed to be? Nancy Pelosi? A symbolic reference to the person responsible for crafting the stimulus bill that many right wing politicians have been against from the start? I think they knew exactly what they were doing and the mayhem that it would cause.  Hoping to sell more $.50 cent papers at the expense of disrespecting our president and taking us back to 1968?
I stopped buying the Post a long time ago due to their irresponsible journalism. What will we do to take a stand now? This is an outrage.
