Edwards cartoon was tasteless and vicious
Shame on you for showing such editorially poor and puerile taste in displaying that vicious cartoon of John and Elizabeth Edwards (May 9). You offend the women who read your paper, trivializing Elizabeth Edwards’ bout with cancer by delineating her already-savaged physique and her right to fight back.
If her husband was a nincompoop and taken in by a woman with her own agenda in mind, it’s your problem, not ours.
It’s time you cleaned up your act. Please keep your paper focused and not go “tabloid.”

I tried to find the cartoon Gloria was referring to but was unsuccessful. Anyone got a link?

Yvonne, I found it on-line. At least I think it is the one -- there was no Elizabeth/John Edwards political cartoon that I could find in the May 9 News-Record. There was one in the Monday, May 11, 2009, News-Record. That cartoon is credited to Mike Luckovich and (apparently) appeared in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on May 7, 2009.
You can either internet search Mike Luckovich or you can use the following [add the "http:"] to go to a source of archives (May) for cartoons done by Luckovich. That particular Edwards cartoon shows up in the first row of May archives -- it's the one on the far right. Click it and it enlarges for easy viewing.
