Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for January 17, 2010
Transcript:
Sarah Palin: I'm like, okay, God, don't let me miss that cloverleaf! Slow for roadwork, which are man's activities! Prayin' for that outpourin' there of God's spirit, proceed. For findin' solutions to positively affect impacts, again, get in there with that good brakin'! In 500 yards, like, a higher callin' may bring you to, y'know, an exit ramp maybe. If you are so blessed as to get a green light and you have that readiness too, progress your vehicle! And there's that darn full stop that Washington wants you to make also, you know. Man: Outtakes? Toggle: Y-y-yes. Still mes... mesmerized. Palin: Yield? Thanks but not thanks!

Sounds like Sarah.
Edcole1961 about 15 years ago
God, I hope not.

Worthless, simply worthless.
josephwgrant about 15 years ago
Trudeau is so completely WITH-IT, so mind-boggingly (sp) perceptive that he sends me into a an amazing free fall trip.
Yuseff about 15 years ago
That is definitely Sarah Palin.
Basqueian about 15 years ago
of course it is Palin, who else is so completely whacko with her wording?
jgcp1 about 15 years ago
Well, DUH! Of course itās Sarah! The problem is that, if you make fun of her NOW, she might not get elected and youāll miss an opportunity for at least four years of great strips. Donāt kill the goose (metaphorically speaking, of course).
Yukoneric about 15 years ago
Letās move to Mexico if sheās elected. Haiti might be good, too.
florchi about 15 years ago
Sarah giving driving directions? A Pulitzer-Prize-winning columnist recently wrote, āyou need a GPS and a Sherpa to get through Sarah Palinās winding utterances.ā
KEA about 15 years ago
Preacher turned politician is redundant.

They must not have much traffic in Alaska.
anne-marie hunter about 15 years ago
Fer Lefer, Many people in our country are ecstatic with Sarah Palin - at least for comedyās sake :)
Nighthawks Premium Member about 15 years ago
make a right turn hereā¦.you betcha!
wink
Randy Busch Premium Member about 15 years ago
Thereās any doubt that that was Palin?
rayannina about 15 years ago
The scariest part is that at no point does Trudeau identify the speaker ā¦ yet we all knew exactly who it was.
Dirty Dragon about 15 years ago
I have too much respect for the brain damaged to post what came to mind ; )
Dmajor about 15 years ago
fbjsr: the great thing is, Iām sure you believe that. Astonishing. I hope this wasnāt too attack-y.
mancocapac about 15 years ago
Unfortunately, anything that doesnāt completely agree with fbjsr is going to be seen as an attack.
The reason she is ridiculed is because she is a joke. Republicans should be ashamed she is so associated with them.
niarja about 15 years ago
Agreed, mancocapac
Justice22 about 15 years ago
Ya just gotta drive right through those road defenses!
Alabama Al about 15 years ago
How subtle. Nowhere in the strip does Trudeau state who is speaking on the tape, or any personal information concerning the speaker at all (references to gender, residency, etc.) Yet most of the readers picked up on the speakerās probable identity rather quickly.
napaeric about 15 years ago
Those are just the outtakes, canāt wait for the actual driving directions. Very, very good.
DoctorDan about 15 years ago
fbjsr - I donāt fear Sarah in the sense that I seriously believe sheāll be elected, because Iām very confident she wonāt. But the fact that there are people who take her seriously scares me very much.
I realize that this sense of being besieged on all sides is an important part of the whole far-right psche (have to be alert to anything that could possibly be interpreted as an insult, right?), but as mancocapac correctly pointed out, being disagreed with is not the same as being attacked.
alviebird about 15 years ago
Iām no fan of Palin, but I have to ask; could she really be any worse than what weāve had for the last decade or so? Sure, sheās a joke, but arenāt Bush and Obama, too?
Ushindi about 15 years ago
Just for fun, hereās an artistās excellent rendition of Ms. Palin, from, of all places, the Daily Galaxy science report.
Get āem, Sarah
DoctorDan about 15 years ago
Can she be any worse? You betcha, she can.
Akenta about 15 years ago
The āThanks, but no Thanksā is from Sarah - when she claimed to turn down some government money.
1148559 about 15 years ago
I have to admit that Sarah was not a name that came to my mind when I read the stripā¦ but then I am not obsessed with her.
If she were ever elected president, I very much doubt we would have a full four years.
benbrilling about 15 years ago
āOne thing that Americans do at this time, also, though, is letās commit ourselves just everyday American people, Joe Six Pack, hockey moms across the nation, I think we need to band together and say āNever Again.ā Never will we be exploited and taken advantage of again by those managing our money and loaning us these dollars.ā
RinaFarina about 15 years ago
Whatās scary about Sarah Palin is that there are enough Americans who would vote for her, that you canāt say itās absolutely impossible for her to become president.
omg Iām beginning to sound like her shriek!!
after all, they did put Bush in power for eight years. And altho I do like Obama, even people who donāt like him have to admit that Bush makes Obama look good by contrast.

Itās very windy in Tulsa again todayā¦

Still prefer Major Major Major (see Catch-22 by Joseph Heller, or buy it).
My senior High School English teacher was Sergeant Smith, who never made it past sergeant; but neither did I. (Apropos of nothing.)
We really need to fix our educational system, so we can get past obsessing on these airhead hot chicks and vicious punks, who shouldnāt ever be allowed near the levers of power. A functionally sixth-grade education isnāt enough for administering a nation; the rest of the world gets that.
Ushindi about 15 years ago
I have the āCatch-22ā movie, pbarnrob, but Iāve often suspected I have it only to watch Paula Prentiss on that raft. I know, that is sick! Iām sorry, Iām sorry, Iām sorryā¦ (That WAS an amazing sight in those daysā¦)
sunnydog about 15 years ago
ID yourself or id yourself or have a laff; I like itā¦ā¦. mr. trudeau ; you are one fine polarizer, and all the other words that start with P.
