They'll have to find someone else to draw the next cartoon!
Cartoonist Sean Delonas, drew a comic of two police officers standing over a chimpanzee that was shot by one of them. The caption read " They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill." Much controversy was caused by this cartoon since it looks like hes making a racist comment implying that the president is a chimpanzee, as well as taking a bash at the stimulus bill he had written.
