Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for May 17, 2014

Howie, you did good if that “hee hee” was an actual laugh.

Jeb Magruder, another one of Tricky Dick’s plumbers, died yesterday. Big obit in today’s NYTimes if you want to be reminded what Watergate was all about.

I love these old strips, when Trudeau was political and funny. Watergate was his finest hour.

Well, they didn’t have PreCrime back then to keep Ehrlichman et al out of law school.

We liberals are just as deluded, in our own way. Sigh.

I am sure masterkrain knows faux is pronounced foe. Yes, it is indeed.

Yeah, his death did sort of take the focus off of his state department that ran like “Murder Incorporated”, his invention of the fabled “missile gap”, his bringing the US and USSR as close to nuclear war as they would ever come, and his appointment of his brother (former HUAC attack dog) as attorney general. I am a life-long Democrat, but I still think Nixon would have been the better choice in 1960.

That’s not funny; it’s sad.

@Illegal SeagullAll far more qualified than Clarence Thomas.

Right — if Faux had been around then, Nixon would never have had to resign.

They’re using Bengazi to keep it alive and try to force Hillary to testify in case she decides to run for prez. If she doesn’t run, they’ll drop it and be on to the next scandal.
