NEW YORK - Cartoonist Garry Trudeau, who has skewered politicians for decades in his comic strip “Doonesbury,” tells Rolling Stone magazine he remembers Yale classmate George W. Bush as “just another sarcastic preppy who gave people nicknames and arranged for keg deliveries.”Trudeau attended Yale University with Bush in the late 1960s and served with him on a dormitory social committee.
“Even then he had clearly awesome social skills,” Trudeau said. “He could also make you feel extremely uncomfortable ... He was extremely skilled at controlling people and outcomes in that way. Little bits of perfectly placed humiliation...
...Bush has created more harm to this country’s standing and security than any president in history,” Trudeau said. “What a shame the world has to suffer the consequences of Dubya not getting enough approval from Dad.”

Textbook 'projection'.
Not nearly as uncomfortable as you're going to feel on November 2nd, Mr. Jane Pauley.
Gee, I often turn to hackneyed, forgotten cartoonists for in-depth political analysis. I thought that Trudeau was gumming his food by now.
I didn't know Trudeau was a homo. Does Jane Pauly know? Yet?
Ya mean Trudeau doesnt like W?
Trudeau was very lucky. His grandfather was a very big TB specialist at a time when there was no cure for TB. He made millions - and his grandson had many opportunities. The fact that he ended up as a cartoonist and others ended up as President of the United States must get him very upset.
...Bush has created more harm to this country’s standing and security than any president in history,” Trudeau said. “What a shame the world has to suffer the consequences of Dubya not getting enough approval from Dad.”
Um, garry... your slip is showing. Go draw some more pretty pictures, lad. You'll be fine.
Absolutely.
Trudeau is a fairy.
You know I never understood why folks found his comic strips funny - it isn't even good political satire. Come to think of it, I have only seen his stuff in university newspapers (hotbeds of infantile liberalism) and liberal rags that no one pays for.
That's nicer than what some people (who know Bush in college) have told me about him.
"I didn't know Trudeau was a homo. Does Jane Pauly know? Yet?"
I wonder if Pauley may be a transvestite? ;-)
And so what? I am a lot different than I was in college--and that was only 5 years ago. Most of us are. We grow up! Well Democrats might not...
Hey, Gary, I've got an idea! You could get back at President Bush for your humiliations by depicting him negatively in your comic strip!
So Bush is "extremely skilled" at controlling people and is very stupid all at the same time. Hmmmm..... which one is it you barefoot, tie-dyed, simplistically idealistic, still rebelling against mommy, leftist twerps?
Bush probably couldn't stand lefty sh!tbags like Trudeau, and let 'em know it!
Yeah, I know he's married to a Jane, but this sort of hostility and animosity can only be the result of someone who was buggered too often in his youth.
Kinda Morford-like.
If anyone actually cares, back in the early 70's, he also carnicured Kerry as self obsessive guy (during Kerry's anti war protest days) who did everything for "chicks". Check out his archives
It should also be noted that George W. Bush did not get along well with other skull and bone members, including Garry Trudeau because he "refused to act his class and rank" i.e. he didn't like snobs and didn't act like one.
A professor he has when he went for his MBA also didn't like the fact that Bush acted more like a normal person instead of a rich elitist.
