Sam has the right idea! Put her away before she causes any more damage!

Hee Hee I love this arc.

Thanks to some great rehab, B.D. has turned into a wise and caring gentleman. Look at his expressions in panels two and three. Sam is a lucky little kid.

Michelle Bachmann is hotter than Sarah Palin.

Now, that’s what I call a NIGHTMARE.

The Teapartiers number plenty of Rays among them. Let’s pray that “the ultimate Tea Party” event is not the assassination of President Obama after he’s forced Congress to pay their bills for two wars, Bush’s pharmaceutical giveaway, and ten years of corporate welfare.

Yes! Oh, the HORROR!
What really amazes me is the “righties” is that it is NOT “fear”, they don’t yet realize that Sarah pain and small, IS the punchline, AND the entire JOKE!! It isn’t “hate”, it pure disbelief that so many mindless trolls still support her.

“Focused on …Dancing with the stars”Wow, you are deluded. I have never seen the show, and it sounds too stupid and useless to be worth a half-our of my time. I believe most libs who post here will tell you the same.And when did every Republican in the nation meet to come up with this “use Palin to drive them crazy” plan? No, the scary truth is that many of your fellow cons would love to have Palin in the Oval Office.

So whom here is going to read the Sarah expose?
DylanThomas3.14159 over 13 years ago
In Trudeau’s strip, the Sarah Palin doll is not the cause of Ray’s PTSD, but rather its trigger; it is his war combat experience that is the cause, just as it was the cause of B.D.‘s PTSD and the reason he lost part of his leg. That’s part of the reason why he can help his buddy Ray.

It’s the dream with Politicians that are always the scariest.

Professor Chaos,
Did you check out any of the strips I recommended yesterday?
DylanThomas3.14159 over 13 years ago
Ray’s worth saving. Basically he’s a good guy who saved B.D.’s life. He needs rehab. If I may forecast, I would say that his rehab will be aided and abetted both by B.D. and by Sam. That kid is incredibly smart and insightful. As was shown by her trip to London with Zonker. And she has a good heart, something that seems rare in America these days.

Someone needs to say something positive about Sarah Palin. Here goes. I am positive that Sarah Palin is one of the stupidest people in America today.

I use forums like this for comedy. It’s funny how some people don’t understand comedy.

Yeah, I’m sure she feels stupid that she didn’t get to spend trillions and buy a car manufacturer. I hear the new model is the Obama. Looks good going down the road but won’t get you very far. Oh yea, and it has a HUD so you you can pretend you know if there’s a problem without actually knowing. Yeah, I’m sure she’s losing lots of sleep!

@leftwingpatriot
Don’t waste your time talking with Chaos. Whatever his political allegiances, he’s tone deaf to irony; it rolls off his brain like water off a duck’s back. Such readers should not tax their feeble wits trying to read Trudeau and Doonesbury.

Nobody who wants to be president should ever have the job. Damn few have ever been qualified to stand around and pretend they actually knew what they’re doing. I don’t hate Palin or Bachmann,but don’t consider either qualified for anything higher than Secretary of Underwater Basket Weaving. Religion should also be kept out of politics.
DylanThomas3.14159 over 13 years ago
Over the years of reading the comments here on this strip, I have observed that trying to have a civil disagreement with some posters would be like trying to French-kissss a rattlesnake.

Not really that far from reality, given the present House’s intention to reduce the elephant-created deficit by reducing or eliminating veterans’ benefits.
DylanThomas3.14159 over 13 years ago
No matter what kind of wrench I have, I never want to have to choose between a right wingnut and a left wingnut.
gamrobi over 13 years ago
hey! ProfC,are you saying my opinion is based on what the media tells me or could it be what the media shows me. did i just ask a question or make a statement. am always confused.
lindz.coop Premium Member over 13 years ago
Unfortunately, we could all be having the same nightmare in another 18 months. For the record, I don’t HATE anybody, but I do feel there are far more qualified folks in America for president than Sarah Palin. If that spells “hate” to some folks, they need to check their own barometer.
gamrobi over 13 years ago
@profci don’t call insistent or shrill an informative debating technique
Uncle Joe over 13 years ago
If the media really hated Sarah Palin, they wouldn’t give her so much free publicity.
