Organ Grinders and Their Monkeys Once Entertained on DC Sidewalks via Telnaes December 23, 2015 She tweeted a link with the history of organ grinders in Washington in an apparent attempt to prove her cartoon wasn’t racist and tasteless. Telnaes hasn’t been quiet about WaPo’s decision to retract her cartoon. I understand why Ann thought an exception to the policy was warranted in this case, but I do not agree. I failed to look at this cartoon before it was published. It’s generally been the policy of our editorial section to leave children out of it. On the page where the drawing originally appeared there is now a note from editorial page editor Fred Hiatt: The tweet from Telnaes trumpeting her Cruz-kids-as-monkeys cartoon has since been deleted, and the Washington Post has retracted the cartoon. Others attacked WaPo for having a double standard given its breathless and critical 2014 coverage of a Hill staffer who privately criticized President Barack Obama’s daughters in a post on her personal Facebook page. The cartoon drew instant Internet ire, with many saying it was a blatantly racist attack on Cruz’s Hispanic heritage. In the ad, Cruz reads aloud parody versions of popular Christmas stories to his daughters that attack his political rivals. Telnaes says her caricature of Cruz and his daughters, all of whom are Hispanic, was inspired by a jokey holiday campaign ad that ran in Iowa on Saturday. The illustration Cruz tweeted closely resembles the WaPo cartoon published and then retracted on Tuesday, which depicted Cruz’s daughters as dancing monkeys leashed to their Santa-suit wearing father. Someone send some ice and ointment to WaPo’s new building, because they’re going to need it for that sick burn. Seems like a better idea for a cartoon: Hillary and her lapdogs. Cruz’s alternate cartoon idea depicts WaPo and the New York Times as Hillary Clinton’s personal lapdogs.
