Ah, it simply wouldn't be a Salon arts article if it wasn't accompanied by an extended bout of huffing and puffing from tomreedtoon. You'll notice, of course, that he offers no evidence of the "petulant name-calling and personal insult" that he perceives in this piece. This is Mr. Toon's calling card: a combination of smugness and lack of substance for which he takes a certain Salon TV critic to task on a near-weekly basis, with a determination that routinely threatens to make the infatuation he clearly feels for her explicit. I'm surprised that he hasn't laid out an arbitrary set of rules that political cartoonists should be expected to follow. Maybe next week? (Fingers crossed!)
