Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for October 29, 1982

Transcript:

Man: It is a special honor for me to speak here on behalf of a valued member of my cabinet. Ray's a fighter, and I'm proud of the way he has devoted the last two years to defending himself! Thank goodness we don't live in Britain, where even the appearance of impropriety often leads to resignation. Here, you have to be able to convict a guy before he's deemed unfit to hold office. That's why after 20 months of investigations, dozens of charges, two dead witnesses and a report that didn't really clear his name, Ray Donovan is still my secretary of labor! Man 2: Well done, Ray! Woman: Two cheers! Man 3: This is a great country, Ray. Man: I know, sir, I know.
