Dean personally did a lot to discredit himself that night in Iowa. The liberal mind is astonishing at times, and I think Michael Savage's thesis that extreme liberalism is not a political position but rather a mental disorder.
Personal responsibility seems like an alien concept to the more extreme commentators. The media has been treating Dean 'fair' - Dean acted like a nut and is being treated like a nut. Indeed, treating him any other way would be unfair.
Whenever something goes wrong it's always someone else's fault. Sad.

...an investigator ... found out that Trudeau hasn't drawn his own strip in years -- he draws roughs that are faxed across the country to better artists. Good catch. I think a new tack would be to loudly complain in Letters to the Editor everytime TruDUH is misidentified as "the cartoonist who draws Doonsbury."

I was flipping through some of Trudeau's old strips when he was at Yale, and it's remarkable how un-PC they are -- exactly the kind of stuff to make your average radical feminist shriek about hate and bigotry. You know, the sort of undying righteous outrage that can only be quieted by the discovery that the author is a fellow leftist...
Hey, at least he didn't draw a little kid pointing his finger and saying 'bang'.
Of course, it's always hilarious to characterize unattractive women as pigs and dogs...
...or apes.
Mentioning heroin is always good for a laugh...
Faggot? No, no, Person of Gayness.
I'd rape her for that.
I'd rape her for that.
Any questions?

Trudeau gets a pass on having published this sort of stuff solely because he's a leftist.
To: Interesting Times
I didn't say Trudeau is a Republican. I said Doonesbury is a Republican. Why do you suppose he is portrayed as such a doon?

The first thing I thought when I heard it was that it sounded like whichever one of the Young brothers said "Yaaaargh!" at the end of AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap." OMG! ROFL! I had to pop it in and listen and you're exactly right! And it's Bonn Scott singing I believe.

The thought of Garry and Jane making the 'sweetest of amatory music together' could make me lose my chicken parmagiana!
But, you're right, "I'd rape her for that" is probably more their style.

You know, of course, that Doonesbury is a Republican. Any more questions?No questions, just an answer. You're wrong.
Mike Doonesbury -- the character in the strip, not the strip itself -- was a campaigner for independent candidate John Anderson in 1980, when the GOP nominated Reagan and Carter was the incumbent. Trudeau promoted Anderson's platform in Doonesbury, but his campaign never caught fire. In what was the closest thing to an endorsement coming from Trudeau that year, a week's worth of strips about a (fictional) Roland Burton Hedley ABC News special called The Search For Reagan's Brain suggested that Carter was the superior candidate because he was younger than Reagan, and the former's brain had shrunk less over the years than Reagan's had.

No questions, just an answer. You're wrong. No, you're wrong. Several years ago, probably around the 2000 election, Mike was asked by his daughter about his political affiliation. He said point blank that he was a Republican. No doubt about it.
