Who's the monkey?

It's interesting that one editorial cartoon intimating that the stimulus package was so chaotic that it was possibly written by a monkey could lead to an impression that the commentary was racist. It was not even personally directed at the President, as he had little to do with the crafting of the bill. It is particularly interesting in the face of years of political cartoons depicting President George Bush as a monkey. Why is it okay for a leftist cartoonist to deride a conservative President in such a fashion? Political cartoons have never been about sensitivity, but now we must always fear insensitivity in one direction but set no boundaries in commentary about conservatives or devout Christians (who may, in fact, not be political conservatives).
