Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for November 23, 2008
Transcript:
Dan Quayle: Taste, one, two, three! Taste! Taste! Mark: Earphones fit okay? Quayle: Not really. I think I'll go au naturel. Mark: We're live with our old pal Dan Quayle, who reportedly advised Sarah Palin in the waning days of the campaign... Quayle: I can confirm that, Mark! Mark: What advice did you give her, Dan? Can you say? Quayle: I told her to be herself! Mark: How'd that work out? Quayle: Great! She doubled down on being herself! It was a real game-changer! Mark: But the press still dismissed her as a lightweight. Could you relate to that? Quayle: Absolutely! Back in the day, I had to deal with sexism, too! Mark: You did? Quayle: Are you kidding? Everyone said I was too pretty to be President! Some even suggested I looked like Robert Redford! Mark: Oh, right. Who were those people? Quayle: Who cares? Would they say that to a woman? I don't think so!

Chuckle It’s been a while since we’ve seen the feather. I confess to a huge curiosity about how McCain and Palin would have been portrayed, and how Trudeau is going to handle Obama and Biden. I suspect he’s waiting - like the rest of us - to see if the results match the promised. Should be interesting, at any rate.

I’ve seen Robert Redford. Mr. Quayle, you are no Robert Redford.
RonBerg13 Premium Member about 16 years ago
Fortunately for Mr. Quayle, he is no Robert Redford…
I hope Mr T is ready for beyond the election. A year from now, Democrat voters won’t remember Palin from Adam any more than they knew how many federal senators a state has, when asked that question during the exit polls. Republicans will certainly be an after thought… What oh what will he draw cartoons about then?

Gweedo, I do not want to exaggerate the story about the wild horses euthanatized in NV. You can read the article. Here is http://www.rgj.com/article/20081117/NEWS18/81117044.

Bob says: Been trained as Ameslan translator… Ameslan was very old for communicating with the deaf people long time ago. It was so hard to understand with that Ameslan. We don’t use it very much. We use ASL (American Sign Language) a lot. Some of them use SEE that we cannot tolerate to understand at all. Those kinds of methods for signing do with ing, ed, ly, such as prefix and suffix words. We despised that. It wastes time. ASL doesn’t use with that prefix and suffix words.

We will finally be able to get past this election in approximately 58 days, 7 minutes, and 30 seconds.

My brother (gimmickgenius) did a cartoon of Dan & Marilyn Quayle after leaving office – they morphed into Prince Charles & Princess Diana. Because Dan looks like a male Diana and Marilyn looks like a female Charles!

Good memory Susan001. So many things are wrong when they’re in other people’s families.

Unfortunately, Palin shows no signs of going quietly. I’m afraid we’ll have no choice but to remember her.

God bless Sarah Palin, the Florence Foster Jenkins of American politics. She did to the Republican party what that iceberg did to the Titanic. I hope she’ll be around for a long time as the GOP’s answer to Jim Jones.

Amazing how ignorant cartoonists are. They actually read what the liberal press says and believe it as gospel.

jackfertig… the “Florence Foster Jenkins” of American politics indeed. Thank the goddess that she hasn’t tried to lease Carnegie Hall yet.
