"Fair?"

This from a guy who once included into his strip a bogus Internet-quelled survey claiming that George W. Bush's IQ was the lowest recorded in the history of the country. Even after being forced to admit that he had been taken in by the hoax, he followed up with a series of gaffes by W. illustrating that the hoax was believable.

I thought the cartoonist with the French-sounding name was pushing Clark. Or was that last month's delusion?

I'm sure that someone will now post the strip that criticized the media for unfairly labelling Quayle an idiot...right?

Or the strip complaining about the one sided coverage of the "government shutdown" in the 90s...right?

Or the strip complaining about the press calling Schwartzenegger a NAZi...right?

Oh wait...he never wrote about that.

Guess Trudeau now sees what its like for your candidate to be at the end of the Clintons "Politics of Personal Destruction" machine.

This guy gets more and more mean-spirited each year. I'd imagine is mostly becuase he realizes he's stuck with Jane "Has Been" Pauley for so long, and he hasn't a Pre-Nup.

Ha! Howard Dean wishes he'd screamed "Yeah!" Alas for him, it was more like a "Yeeeearrgh!"

For once, a Doonesbury cartoon that's actually funny-for all the wrong reasons. Trudeau might have been subversive at one point, but literaly all he does now is re-hash the media's talking points, with added illustrations. He's sort of "Krugman for Dummies"

The Democrats are the "Party of the People" no more. The most populist person to have a good shot at the Democrat Presidential nomination in many years was scuttled by the "Machine".

From that high watermark day of the campaign when the man who received the most presidential popular votes in 8 years endorsed Dean's run to the depths of that cold Iowa night the political assination of the man from Vermont was brutal and complete.

That Iowa Caucus night primal scream was not the cause of Mr. Dean's political demise but the effect of seeing how utterly effective the Democrat Machine can be.

This should stand as a stark lesson to all just where "Grass Roots Populism" stands with the National Party Machine. While Dean and his outsiders were decrying the war, Washington insiders, tax cuts for anybody and repeating the mantra, "anybody but Bush" the National machine had another mantra "anybody but Dean"

The comic here is not only unfunny, but incoherent.

Trudeau contributed $2000 to Dean a year ago (Feb. 3, 2003), according to public FEC records. He didn't give money to any other presidential candidate (or, at least, there are no FEC records OF any other Trudeau presidential candidate contributions). Link

He has consistently lied about every Republican President or candidate since Richard Milhouse Nixon.

Reminds me of an article by an Egyptian (I think) doctor (psychiatrist) who held that President Bush was a borderline imbecile which the good doctor could discern by the predident's simian facial expressions alone. Probably was source material for Trudeau.

The only reason Trudeau has survived for all these years is his politics. That, and the flattering image he presents to aging liberal baby-boom Yuppies of themselves. It's never been because he's witty or funny: his brand of "humor" is the most ponderously politicized I've ever seen.

Trudeau is a fraud.

He DOES NOT DRAW Doonsbury!

It is drawn by some guy in the Midwest, always has. Trudeau gets his ideas and scripts from his readers, presumably the DUH crowd. He is a "creative force" behind the comic strip, which basically means he does absolutely nothing but collect royalty income for other people's work.

If you take Trudeau at his word, or think he is still entertaining, they you have the same warped sense of humor Hillary does.

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.
