Miss Baez, with the liberal’s usual disdain for somebody else’s free speech, demanded that Mr. Capp eliminate the character, threatening to sue and to do all manner of ugly things to make him stop. Mr. Capp was puzzled. “Joanie Phoanie is a repulsive, egomaniacal, un-American, nontaxpaying horror,” said he. “I see no resemblance to Joan Baez whatsoever, but if Miss Baez wants to prove there is, let her.” Miss Baez shut up, and Miss Phonie lived out her days in Dogpatch.

There are hundreds of thousands of young people, some of them in orphanages and some of them on campus, and a lot of grownups who live such barren lives they have never heard a $250,000 speech. They have never heard Hillary’s rollicking jokes and funny stories, her warmth and wit, the timing that put Bob Hope in the shade, her ability to keep an audience screaming for more.

Hillary could treat them all to one of her famous speeches, proof that what she’s selling is not access to a president to be named later.

Great post Liz - Wesley Pruden's amazing.

The late great Al Capp would have had a field day with the Clintons, Obamas, Mezvinskies, etc. With all the characters he could have dreamed up Dogpatch would be the size of Little Rock.

Joanie Phonie remains a classic. So does S.W.I.N.E.
