Letter: But depictions of George W. Bush as a monkey are OK?

Oh, that's right, he is a conservative, Caucasian male and is therefore fair game.

In this file photo taken on August 17, 1992, US First Lady Barbara Bush and her son George W. Bush attend the 1992 Republican National Convention in Houston. Barbara Bush is in “failing health” after a series of hospitalizations and “has decided not to seek additional medical treatment,” her husband’s office said in a statement on April 15, 2018. It said that Mrs. Bush, after consulting with relatives and doctors, had decided to “focus on comfort care” at the family home in Houston. (Chris Wilkens/AFP/Getty Images)

Cartoons depicting GeorgeW. Bush as a monkey OK?

Re: all the hubbub and fallout from Roseanne Barr’s joke “in bad taste”:

I remember quite well during George W. Bush’s administration cartoon caricatures depicting him as a monkey, replete with tail.

No one seemed to have a problem with that. Oh, that’s right, he is a conservative, Caucasian male and is therefore fair game. Hypocrites.
