AAEC Decries Rick Perry Ohman-Cartoon Apology Request



Alan Gardner has a succinct write-up on the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists coming out in support of Jack Ohman by denouncing a request by Governor Rick Perry that he apologize for a cartoon about the role that lack of worker protections may have played in a recent Texas tragedy. There are a bunch of fascinating things about that whole back-and-forth, including this being one of those incidents where the decorum of talking about something seems to be of greater concern than any kind of analysis or criticism of the actual thing that happened. The comments are pretty good there, too.

One hope I have is that we could enjoy a dialogue about the timing issue at some point other in the midst of a specific example that people believe involves someone speaking out on a political matter "too soon."
