Editor Critical Of Delonas Cartoon Fired; Sturdy Link Between Two Events Sought

There's a semi-hot story crackling through the various wire services and punditry spewers about the New York Post dismissing Associate Editor Sandra Guzman last week. Guzman objected to a Sean Delonas cartoon from earlier this year that bizarrely tied President Obama into the shooting of a crazed chimpanzee that was in the news that week. Why this would have an impact on her being dismissed now is anyone's guess, and certainly still mine even after reading a bunch of articles, but the article certainly has more juice this way, Guzman can justifiably be identified as that editor, and maybe there's something uglier there. For now, it seems articles like this one provide semi-alarming headlines and then in the body of a piece discuss the rumor run by the Huffington Post article and but also suggest that maybe the elimination of the department she was working on is a bigger cause.
