Some readers have responded to Friday's "Fire Accomplished" cartoon. They aren't happy.

"The Daily News has finally gone too far ...

I do not want to help finance this paper with my subscription money
unless there is an apology printed in the paper in the next few
days...cancel my subscription"

And another....

"I do not know what possessed your editorial staff to publish
O'Connor's cartoons this week. To make fun of the fires was bad
enough, especially considering the loss of life and property. But
today's cartoon was so far over the top - President Bush standing in
front of a banner that reads "Fires Accomplished" - that I no longer
will be a subscriber to your newspaper. In my opinion, O'Connor is a
horse's arse and your editors should fire him and then resign in
shame."

And one more about my horse's arse......

"I realize how far your editorial staff has sunk into the depths of unreasoning rage at the President. I am a retired journalist, and I'd just like to tell you that your unremitting, undisguised liberal bias is a disgrace to serious journalists. Shame, shame on all of
you. "
