Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for March 12, 2010

Will they be able to find a replacement?

Well, at least he’s not on drugs.

Joanie’s such a great Mom. Don’t worry the boy will make you proud.

“well at least he didn’t kill anyone.” to which i can only say, “yet.”

This kid would be perfect for Congress, either party.

Killing someone would actually mark him as competent in some people’s eyes. Wouldn’t matter if it was friendly fire, either. Just ask Pat Tillman. Or Deborah Jeane Palfrey. Or Mike Connell. Or Adamo Bove.

Didn’t Jeff whack a Talaban before, when he accidentally fired off a Predator?

the kid will come back and join Cheney’s newest think tank. He show’s talent.

Refern is the GOP’s poster boy for Privatizing the military.

Joanie sets the bar pretty low. Recall that she’s also JJ’s mother – of course, she abandoned JJ when JJ was pretty little. And JJ has paid us all back! With Zeke. What a family.

Laura Bush killed someone. And Pretzledent George Bush Jr. killed a lot a lot a lot a lot of people.

he was a “Yet” waiting to happen in his cheerleading years….

I think corcho99 has called it. Redfern can portray himself as a veteran, maybe even a war hero if he spins it right (and the press doesn’t do its homework). Get on this, Trudeau – it’s your next great plot twist! REDFERN FOR CONGRESS ‘10!

I know everyone likes to say that one party is as bad as the other, but let’s go down the list:

Dems Rangel- lost chairmanship while impending investigation Edwards- out of politics and life in general Massa- out Paterson- will not run, would be up for election Spitzer- out McGreevey- out Clinton- impeached for a blow job

Reps Vitter- still in Senate Ensign- still in Senate Sanford- still governor Foley- out (hitting on juveniles) Craig- had to be voted out

Is one party worse than the other? I leave it to others to make their own judgment…

“At least he didn’t kill anyone important.”

joanne must take responsibilty!! To paraphrase Hunter S Thompson, all her chickens are coming home to roost… Woahh!!! They are goddamn vultures!!

You are very astute! l like your thinking! Agree with you.. Dems or GOP, spin ‘em on a dime both come up the same!

Redfern will probably wind up as one of Nobama’s Czars…unaccountable to the voting citizens of the US…

Looks some people didn’t pay attention in Reading and Math class. Too bad.

I’m sure he was a cute baby!

The Reps have people who remain in office, whereas the Dems tend to have people tossed out. There is a positive vs. negative relationship going here which is important to pay attention to. (Since I guess I have to spell it out.)

He gives new meaning to the word irreplaceable.

Difference in the parties? One runs on family values and then does the same family devaluing as the other party. Does TOTAL hypocrisy count as a difference?

Setting the bar lower: “At least he doesn’t draw cartoons for a living. ” :)

@montessoriteacher, that is the best, most succinct description of what Clinton did that I’ve ever seen. Puts things in perspective. But really unacceptable - too honest and blunt. Did he really deserve impeachment and all the rest??

Rina, monty’s summary was blunt, but it wasn’t honest. Clinton was impeached for lying about his fun to Congress, not for doing it, although federal laws were also being broken by his “quid-pro-quo” sexual adventures with his subordinate. Many folks in private industry have been fired for far less.
