Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 09, 2011

No, I paid $10 for it.

FOXed news at its best.

Typical of Faux News: Even though “according to sources” its president, Roger Ailes, thinks Sarah “Palin is an idiot”, it must still “have her back”. At least that’s what he figures “she needs to know”. Again, there is no honor among thieves..http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/05/22/fox-news-president-roger-ailes-thinks-sarah-palin-is-an-idiot/

isn’t roger ailes implicated in the phone hacking that fox news in uk?

It was “lost” in a bar.

If a books gets reviewed, then never gets published,—-call legal

Has GBT ever come up for a Palin Icon? Is it a a pair of floating glasses? Or a wig?

So far, no Palin icon. And no Obama icon. It seems that the era of icons to represent people is pretty much over for this strip.

This might be a good time to remind everyone that this is a comic strip. It is not “evidence” of anything, and the events described are not facts, but simply one cartoonist’s attempt to entertain. Don’t let go that reality rope.

Doonesbury is a satirical comic strip.Where fantasy comics simply offer us a vacation from reality, GT’s satire depends upon some reference to reality—to dishonest public figures, for instance. Or to Fox News, which is real for many simple souls.

It’s sad, but some people actually base their reality on WANTING to believe the implications in political cartoons are based on factual evidence and even unpublished truths evidently covered over and hushed up through a conspiracy of those filthy rich politically motivated slimeballs they want others to also acknowledge as evil incarnate.

In Rick Perry, the Republicans have finally found someone who makes Sarah Palin seem intelligent.

“Only if I know about it.” actually pre-dates even Watergate- by a couple thousand years?

Palin’s icon is Sam’s doll: Caribou Barbie!

A lot of people are convinced that if Science, the Separation of Church and State, and Barack Obama would just quietly go away, the country would be much better off. Unfortunately, the level of dumbness in the U.S. is already at crisis levels, and that kind of thinking can only make it worse.

That is what he offered Jeff for the book, remember?

pd’s right about the focus of the strip. It’s more Remus than Pooh.

How about the “reality-challenged fantasy” of voodoo economics, where tax cuts for the wealthy makes every one a Lucky Ducky when their “bonanza” tinkles down to the rest of us.

Wouldn’t you like to hear Obama paraphrase his hero Lincoln and say: “Sir if you’re not going to use your capital, then let me tax it.”
