Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for August 11, 2011
Transcript:
Duke: Okay, here's what's going to happen. You're going to meet with my friend at INS and formally apply for asylum. It will be granted. You'll be issued a green card and then you can look for work like anyone else. You can do it. Other deposed heads of state have done it. The Philippines' Marcos. Vietnam's Nguyen Ky ran a liquor store. Man: The Jews did this to me. Duke: That reminds me. Say as little as possible.

If you’re a racist (“I’m a racist”), Ke Nguyen, then why should Leftwing Patriot learn those three words? Why does he need to learn that you’re a racist? I’m not linking to your logic here.
Sandfan over 13 years ago
Accusations of racism are the standard ploy of people who are unwilling or unable to discuss a situation on a factual or rational basis.
babka Premium Member over 13 years ago
I believe leftwingpatriot might have been suggesting that Mr. Bzerkistan is about to be racially profiled, and whatever language he says “I don’t speak English” in, mum’s the word. Like Eddie Izzard said: “death? or cake?”

This is EXACTLY how INS works. The ONLY thing that matters to them is money. It is trivial to buy your way into the US; without $$$ it is impossible.
We jump for joy to grant asylum to anyone persecuted in their own country, even if the persecution is for mass murder.

I think LeftWingPatriot was suggesting Australia on the assumption that Mel Gibson is an Australian citizen. However, I think (and I’m too lazy to do the research) that Gibson was born in the United States and is an American citizen but his family moved to Australia when he was very young and that is where he grew up.

Well, this is a surprise! I was beginning to think Duke would never get Whatshisface out of the tub.
dfowensby over 13 years ago
yeah. you have to be a currently-in-power butchering dictator in order to even be invited to the off-White House.
BE THIS GUY over 13 years ago
It has nothing to do with race; Just providing an excuse for His Excellency to not say anything that could hurt his chances at asylum.
mlvezie over 13 years ago
I wonder who’s going to be the first to remind Gary Trudeau that the INS hasn’t existed for 8 years.

GT’s always finding ways to show support for those who rule by apartheid. GT loves it that American taxpayers are stuck funding apartheid. Nearly all the members of Congress think a true patriot is anybody who supports apartheid. In Washington, the height of patriotism is to hold two passports and to put the USA second.

Two points:
1. The name of the ex-dictator of Berzerkistan is Trff Bmzklfrpz. (The name is pronounced exactly as spelled.) Write it down for future reference.
2. Apparently Bmzklfrpz’s money is no longer. Given that Duke was enough of a bottom feeder to represent this mass-murdering monster to begin with, I would think Duke would have no compunction about kicking Bmzklfrpz to the curb now that he could no longer profit from Trff. So, why is Duke going to all this trouble helping out Bmzklfrpz to begin with? Inquiring minds would like to know.

I remember Marcos after his disposition. He ran a shoe store in downtown Tulsa . Really high end shoes, Imelda had good taste. but sadly, his customers all preferred cowboy boots.

Has anybody noticed that Bm-zyykl-fripits (that’s how I pronounce his name, just like it was spelled) is not wearing that green garment that was beside the bathtub, beside the martini? We can see that he’s just wearing a blue jacket. So it probably was a bathrobe and not a raincoat.

Any bets his new employer won’t be Sid Kibbitz?
DylanThomas3.14159 over 13 years ago
All: I’ve said before that Doonesbury and the intelligent, tricky comments on this blog, have become an obsession for me. But I do have work to do. So I gotta go now. The pressure — oops, pleasure — has been all mine. Buy 4 now (this no-bitch economy needs U2). —dtπ

Sometimes all you want is stupid, fun entertaiment.

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?*Maybe Trff’s destiny is to become a more upstanding citizen of the U.S. than he was of Berzerkistan.
Sandfan over 13 years ago
Relax, some of my best friends are liberals.

You know Bmz… got that, from that “Israeli apartheid” wacko that’s been that’s been AI generated around here.
I just sayin’, “A user-name like … Movie Trivia sounds like a safe bet.”
Auf Wiedersehen, Vista Bill kommen Sie bitte wieder.
