Who Will Riot Over This Outrage?

Got my WSJ editorial fix this morning and what do you think I found? A caricature of Ms Coretta King was prominently displayed in Peggy Noonan's latest masterpiece.

Is this enough to cause a riot, or does she need to be giving the old Black Power salute?

I don't know. Is she recognised as a prophet by any major world religions?

How about the church of the has-been civil rights pioneers?

Looks a bit like Maggie Thatcher.

Normally I'm all for a good night of rioting and looting (I could use a new tv). But, you'd really need something worse to get a good riot going. Like Correta King throwing a sackful of kittens in a river or something.

Are they people of the book?

It can be arranged...

....well, I can probably get a black person to do it anyway, and indirectly put the blame on her. Will that work?

Well seeing as people actually knew what Coretta King looked like, as opposed to us not actually knowing what Mohammed looks like. In addition I am not aware of anyone praying to Ms King because the way she is depicted helps them to connect with their spirituality.

No, though I imagine Jesse Jackson might make a stink about it.
