Crude Brady cartoon deflated this reader

May 17, 2015 12:01 am • Last Updated: May 17, 2015 12:31 am

Um...WOW! Sometimes I don't agree with the political cartoon The Day chooses for the editorial page, heck, occasionally I don't even get it. The Nick Anderson cartoon (May 13) was, boy howdy, a humdinger! Surely, there must have been a wee dram served at the editorial staff meeting for anyone to think this depiction of Tom Brady wasn't offensive; and I don't mean in sporting terms!

Inappropriate, offensive, crude are just a few of the words that come to mind. I'm no prude, but I prefer my dirty jokes between friends, not in my local newspaper. You all do good work and I truly enjoy the editorial page, including the cartoon, everyday. This one was really in bad taste and I just had to call you on it.
