Newspaper giant Washington Post is making news itself this week. The paper made the decision to bench sports cartoon Tank McNamara this week. In all, 6 panels were denied and "reruns" appeared.

Above are two of the "offending" strips. Satirizing NFL commish Roger Goodell, the NFL's problems with the police blotter, Michael Vick and Dick Cheney. In the strip Cheney says Goodell should rub out dog-killin' Vick.

Over the line? Perhaps. But worthy of censorship? Please. Read that list of who is involved again. Aside from Dubya, are there people that have given late night comics and newspaper columnists more material?

This stinks of hypocrisy. Especially since the Washington Post spent 8 years satirizing and hammering Cheney. And a comic strip is what gets shut down? It's a bloody cartoon.

Free speech applies to Jeffy and Dolly in The Family Circus but not Tank?

Nonsense...
