Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for August 21, 2023

Time to take a snap shot and put the squeeze on him.

When the shoe is on the other foot and all that.

Who would trust Steve with money?

She doesn’t really look like his usual type, with being saggy in places and all.

Gary Hart’s activities would be considered an asset these days.

I wonder how many get the Charmin reference.

“Gary Warren Hart (né Hartpence; born November 28, 1936) is an American politician, diplomat, and lawyer. He was the front-runner for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination until he dropped out amid revelations of extramarital affairs.” We were so innocent back then….

“You’re so sexy when you’re self-righteous.” I love it!

In 1987 Gary Hart was the heavy favorite to win the Democratic nomination to take on George H. W. Bush for the Presidency. The GOP considered him a formidable opponent and likely to beat Bush.

On his deathbed, Republican political operative and dirty trickster Lee Atwater confessed to setting up Gary Hart with the “Monkey Business” yacht and Donna Rice incident. Hart withdrew from the race and Michael Dukakis won the nomination. Lee Atwater then used the Willie Horton adds to sink his candidacy.

Quick ! Go tell Mr. Wipple !!

C’mon, Steve is a lawyer. When you set out to break the law, you need a lawyer to help you. Look at all the lawyers who helped Trump when he tried to over throw results of 2020 election.

In prison he’ll have to squeeze his butt cheeks together

Dated dating scandal. I dare say few remember much of the Gary Hart story nowadays, and even the popular TV commercial for Charmin is faded with time….
