Sacramento Newspaper mocks Perry / West, TX victims.

I saw that in the Sacramento Bee last week. Thought it was in poor taste but wasnt surprised considering the level of butthurt around here over Rick Perry inviting businesses to Texas. Jack Ohman is a hack..i thought when the cartoonist he replaced(who was also a total partisan hack) croaked that we might get some balanced cartoons..but nope.

I understand why people in Cali would be pissed (lefties especially) and I believe in free speech, but this crosses the line.

The Bee even refused to apologize. They run the cartoon on the day Texas was honoring the victims.

Yeah, i wouldnt hold out for that apology if i was Rick or West,TX. It's best to just make it known to as many people nationally as possible so they can see what kind of hacks work for our local paper. Like i said, the butthurt is strong over here in regards to Perry. Any mention of West, TX in the Bee has pretty much been "See what happens without overbearing regulation?". Sacramento Bee endorses anything that keeps Sacramento and the state of California a bureaucracy hell. People like Rick Perry disgust them. The fact that this got Rick Perry's attention and offended him was probably a huge victory for them when they were probably just happy laughing about it at the editing meeting before.
