Tell Trudeau how you feel; Freep Doonesbury Poll

Doonesbury web site ^ | 09/05/01 | TC Rider

[TC Rider]

Trudeau has fessed up to using an internet hoax as the basis of his Sunday strip attacking President Bush.

He now has a poll set up on his web site to see how we feel about it.

Pretend you're a Democrat and Vote Early, Vote Often

[TC Rider]

LOL, I'm watching the numbers change before my eyes Bump.

[TC Rider]

Even though his site allows multiple votes from individuals, it would be wrong bump.

[writmeister]

Better yet. Do like I did and pretend that you are a Democrat when it asks for your party affiliation.

The poll didn't give us choice D:

Trudeau's a hopelessly passe asshole whose "comic" strip isn't worth the ink it took to print it, and who wouldn't have a job except for the thousands of lame lefty newspaper editors in this country, almost all of whom are wondering why their readership numbers are headed for the crapper.

[Brett66]

Freeped the commie-pig, I voted as a dem.

[motexva]

I think everyone should vote, but don't say you're a dim unless you are. Let him see how few dims even his site is attracting; let him see how many come over from this site even on a late Wednesday night. It will be even more discouraging.

Here's the poll:

How upset are you by IQ-gate?

The incident reveals Trudeau to be outrageously unfair and biased, and he should resign immediately. It's always been hard to discern the line in Doonesbury between fact and fiction, but this time he crossed it.

The incident reveals Trudeau to be outrageously unfair and biased, which after 31 years shouldn't exactly come as a surprise. His homework on this one was a little sloppy, but I think I'll give him another chance.

The incident reveals Trudeau to be outrageously unfair and biased, which is, of course, the definition of a satirist. Anyone looking to the funny pages for their facts should have their IQ checked. Carry on.

Hate to break it to you guys, but I picked option 3. At first, I even suspected Trudeau knew it was a hoax, but decided to go with it anyway. For pete's sake, it's a comic strip. I have no problem with twitting Mr. Trudeau for his error, but let's not make more of the incident than it deserves.

[Brett66]

Freeped the commie again, this time as a Republican.

[TC Rider]

I've been a democrat for the last 10 minutes and now I'm filled with self loathing.

I'll try being an other for a while.

[The Drowning Witch]

BUMP

[calmseas]

I love these polls where you don't have to do some fancy cookie fixing in order to vote more than once. I voted about 5 times and raised the percentage up 2 points (tells you how many people actually care about these polls).

[TC Rider]

Most papers run Doonesbury on the op/ed page, where one would expect a slighty higher standard than the funnies. He's entitled to his opinion, but should not present fiction as truth. His 6 week lead time sob story is no excuse.

[clintonh8r]

I would agree with you IF Trudeau had spoofed the poll, not taken the poll results as authentic and used the phony information to advance his own agenda. Now he's trying to cover with an "I meant to do that" excuse.

[The Drowning Witch]

FREEEPED! and bumped....

[E=MC²]

I voted for the first time in my life as a demonrat; now I have to go take a shower.

[rack42]

Tell me why I should care.

The man is a figurehead. Who is the power behind him? Or, for that matter, behind any President?

This is just garbage.

What about Brittany?

[Interesting Times]

I've been a democrat for the last 10 minutes and now I'm filled with self loathing.

You're not doing it right.

You should be filled with a completely unearned sense of smug superiority.

[JAWs]

His site's coding is as good as his strips!

[BerniesFriend]

I could not vote for any of the options..he should apologize IN HIS STRIP..not on his web site..If I were him it would be the least I would do..to think..he took the time to write and color a strip ridiculing President Bush for being lazy and stupid...all the while being too lazy and stupid HIMSELF to check out the source of the "study"...jeez..
