We're just too unsophisticated and behind the curve. Artists are just so much smarter than the rest of us.
Yes, the country has had time to pass through all the stages of grief
What sheer arrogance! Who the hell is this guy to determine the intensity and time span of the "stages of grief?" Next time someone you love dies, call this guy and ask him, "Is it over yet?" You wouldn't want to make a spectacle out of yourself after all.
But my decision to run the cartoon assumed that for others, as for myself, enough time had passed for the wounds of Sept. 11 to heal and for the terrorist attacks to take their place in the long history of political satire.
Unbelievable! Could we see the "satirical" political cartoons this guy has run about the Kennedy assassination? Or is the liberal icon too sacred to be a subject of satire?
This guy is completely clueless, and I hope this condescending "apology" is the last thing he gets to publish in a "newspaper."
Well, I am an artist and I'm not there yet. What a stupid dodge. Artistic license to be cruel and tasteless. I don't think so. Being an artist doesn't mean you can do anything you want and be excused because you are "provacative." That assumes that the artist is always right by definition since it is a statement we all need to hear. Sometimes the self absorbed need an intervention to help them come to terms with their place in society. I think he just got his "intervention." LOL.
