From the Daily News:
Condoleezza Rice is a sticky subject at the Washington Post this week.
The paper has suspended "The Boondocks," a comic strip populated by cynical, politically aware African-American children, because of a series of jokes about the national security adviser's personal life.
On Tuesday, cartoonist Aaron McGruder had one of his young characters speculate: "Maybe if there was a man in the world who Condoleezza truly loved, she wouldn't be so hell-bent to destroy it."
A rep for the Post, which won't be resuming the strip until Sunday, said: "We had no way of knowing whether Mr. McGruder's assertion that Condoleezza Rice had no personal relationship was true or not."
Rice's office didn't return a call yesterday.
The artist's rep told us yesterday, "Not a single other paper in the nation chose to abort this week's strip."
Sticky indeed...
