Our VRWC minions have successfully flown airplanes into the skyscraper of Ted Rall's career. The New York Times resident shock jock cartoonist, has been fired. Naturally Rall, who once even made 'fun' of terror widows, is crying censorship.

As Michele points, out, Teddy's cry sounds somewhat like this:

WHAAAA!!!

Hat tip to Charles Hill.

UPDATE: I've always known Ted Rall was an idiot, but his cryfest over being dumped by the New York Times is classically funny. Rall is begging everyone to demand that the NYT put his cartoon back, but then goes on to say that he doesn't really care whether they do or not.

Kowtowing to a special interest group [Times readers] sets a dangerous precedent. The only way they'll reverse course is if you let them know. Please keep the pressure on by emailing [them]

A reminder: I don't stand to earn a penny if the Times runs my cartoons again. They weren't paying me for them anyway. And I have never complained about being dropped before. This is solely about freedom of expression, and the Times' unique intersection of cowardice and laziness. The Times cartoon section has been censored, Soviet-style: even my archives, the last five years of cartoons that they specifically approved of, have been excised by the Stalinists at Times Digital.

This is just like the time the KGB ordered the Moscow Times to stop carrying Alexi Krapitov's cartoons, and Krapitov called them a bunch of Stalinist goons and thugs, and people who smell and wear combat boots. Oh wait, it didn't happen like that.. Krapitov simply disappeared and was never seen or heard from again.
