I lost my patience with this scribbler when, in the midst of Clinton's first term, when -to those of us who were keeping track- Clinton's corruption was already quite evidently unprecedented in the history of the Presidency, Trudeau went on a tear on Reagan-Bush, calling it "the most corrupt administration we have ever seen" or somesuch rot.
When has Trudeau ever really slammed leftists?

[Jhoffa_]

When has Trudeau ever really slammed leftists?

I can't give you dates or page numbers or anything.. But I have seen it and knowing his bias it really surprised me.

I am not implying it was a frequent event or anything though.. Not by any means.

Just that I haven't seen him this mad prior to the election.

It's JMO.

[toothseaquer]

You are so right on. I only read him to see what his little mind is up to.

[WhaChuLookinAt]

Wouldn't that be "Mdme. Trudeau"?

If terrorists had destroyed the Eiffel Tower, I would have yawned and gotten back to work.

[lurky]

jejeune harangue

Nicely done. Not too 50 cent, with a touch of irony. I'm using it.

[lurky]

So the assertion of the Trudeau's column is FALSE.

Non. His assertion is solely about France, not about other countries like Israel. In this regard, Trudeau is correct: there is no way on God's green earth would Americans proclaim under any circumstances, "Today, we are all French."

[Alouette]

If terrorists had destroyed the Eiffel Tower, would you have cried, "We are all French today!"

[Pharmboy]

Whoa! Nice job!

[LuisBasco]

Who reads this drivel?

[chimera]

What's most revealing about this is the expression on the faces of those characters in almost all of the panels. They show almost exclusively a hate-filled scowl. The old saying about the eyes being the windows of the soul and the face revealing the intentions of the heart I think are true, and these pictures reveal the face of liberalism very, very well. Touche, oui?

[Pharmboy]

It is the lead "comic" in my local Sunday newspaper as it is in numerous others throughout the country; so the answer to your question is, unfortunately, many people.

"I would call the French scumbags, but that, of course, would be a disservice to bags filled with scum," Dennis Miller told Jay Leno on NBC's "Tonight Show" in February, after France refused to give its blessings to the war in Iraq.
