That was my knee jerk reaction...maybe that's their point...but I think the point is supposed to be that the hubbub about coffin pics seems awfully silly compared to this ruckus. And I suppose that is true. But it can too easily be misconstrued.

I beg to differ, respectfully.

Wording is EVERYTHING in humor. Look what is said...
"The flag draped coffins don't look so bad now."

Not.. "The coffin flag scandal...", but "The flag coffins don't look bad.".

If it does mean what you say, then the cartoonist needs to be more clear. Because to me, the CLEAR message is "The flag draped coffins don't look so bad".

But, as was said before-- tasteless either way.. Just different degrees..
