Wow, I thought he stopped drawing the comic years ago. I haven’t seen it in at least 10 years.

A blank birth certificate or Indonesian passport would be appropriate for Zero.

When you are a fellow traveler Marxist, socialist, communist (take your pick), I guess it is hard to see satire in what you really believe in.

If we could peer inside Trudeau’s working room, he probably has an Obama shrine with a life-sized statue of The Great Spreader displayed prominently. Trudeau has relegated his statue of Slick Willy to his basement of forgotten, liberal icons.

He depicted Clinton as a waffle, because he wasn’t “liberal enough”. And when the Lewinsky scandal hit, you’d think it would have been a cartoonist’s goldmine. But instead he spent his time satirizing Ken Starr.

Not to worry, Gary, but in two more years you’ll have a President that you’ll have no problem in satirizing at all, because we’ll be back to a Republican Prez again, which, after all, ever good leftist media shill knows is more satirizable than any Democrat.

And you could learn how to excerpt.

Why would anyone post this article without the actual quote?

And why do you have the time to respond to two of my posts but you don’t have the time to answer the one simple question I originally asked you....”Why didn’t you post the punch line?”

I enjoyed the early DOONESBURY, which seemed to make fun of everyone — liberals, conservatives, militants. Then it slid into left-wing self-righteousness. Probably Obama is too much of a sacred cow.

Jane Pauley has three children. I would assume they are Trudeau’s;)

What's their ages? My boss "knew" her back in the 60s.
