Political Satire or a Crude Attempt at Controversy

[Sir Terrence the Terrible]

If I were to hazard a guess, I would reckon that the New Yorker's readership isn't the sort of mob who would let such an illustration have such an effect, Sir T. Without intending to sound like a snob, my portrait of the average New Yorker reader is one who is informed, intelligent and open for a good laugh (even if the humor is somewhat broad). While I think this illustration is odd, its cryptic intent isn't clear enough for me to give it much thought. There are those souls out there who will view it rather poorly, and I respect their sentiments enough to not take it so lightly either. In any case, we live in a society that prides itself on having the courage enough to let such comments be aired, no matter how insensitive or inane they may be....

Who was it that said, “I disagree with what you say but respect you’re right to say it”?

Sounds about right to me….

Generally speaking, you are probably right about the readership. However on an individual basis, I put nothing past anyone.

Sorta like that line about loving humanity and despising individuals...?

Pretty good thing to remember....
