Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for May 25, 2009
Transcript:
Barack Obama: Okay, so how do I do this? Aide: Just talk, sir. Obama: Like this? Aide: Right. Anything you say will appear as dialogue above the White House. Obama: Dick Cheney is a war criminal! Aide: See? Big as life. Obama: But I would never say that. Aide: As I understand it, that's part of the fun.

Probably - it’s just what they wanted to be saying.

Try this, Mr. President, dialing down a bit: “Dick Cheney is the evil troll under the bridge.” That’s better.

Will you guys get over it? Obama speaks well with or without a teleprompter. What do you want? You think he should spend several days MEMORIZING each of his speeches?? I think he has better things to do.

“Move On” - dot-org…….
Ev’ryone got JOBS today???
THAT’s the most criminal thing for which Mr. C’s Regime is culpable.
Time to focus on what WE can do NOW.

You tell ‘em BenBrilling! Our most recently departed president couldnt speak even with a teleprompter. Not even when he was sitting on Cheney’s lap with Dick’s hand in his back, pulling the strings. Dick just wasnt a very good ventriloquist.

What Icon will Trudeau use for THIS president?

The Teleprompter image is good, but just imagine a Teleprompter reading from a Teleprompter. Now that would be brilliant! But I’m not betting that way.
((I love how Charles Krauthammer characterizes O’s methods: 1) Loudly condemn Bush’s policy on XYZ; 2) Vigorously announce minor changes to XYZ; 3) Continue Bush’s policy on XYZ.))

The lies told by the Right are getting to be beyond immoral. The Teleprompter fraud is but one of them, and that minor in the sea of the rest.

But… but… Dick Cheney IS a war criminal, no matter what Obama says or does.

The word “Dick” has at least two different meanings. One is an obscenity, the other is a part of the male anatomy.

Whoa, Dypak! For a minute there I thought you were going to say,”…with Dick’s hand in his backSIDE.” Admit it - you thought that, didn’t you?

Poor definition in the online version. Clearly 5/25 in the print version.

This is a five (5). This is a nine (9). Any questions? Are some of you reading these things on your cell phones?
