Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 16, 2011
Transcript:
Book: "'Those kids had to fend for themselves. I'd walk into that kitchen and Bristol and Willow would be sitting there with a burnt pot of Kraft Mac and Cheese... when Todd was up north working, those kids were a bunch of wild maniacs, running around Wasilla with no dinner cooked, no breakfast cooked, no homework done, and Sarah lying bed. It made her crazy to have to take care of the kids. I remember her coming in with Piper in a carrier and sliding it across the foyer and sayin' "Take this f_____ baby!" Then she walked out the door.'" Roland: "Book: Sarah taught kids self-reliance. So Alaskan."

Is it just me, or is anyone else tired of hearing about Sarah Palin, even in comics?
vwdualnomand about 13 years ago
if the palins bring a lawsuit of slander and libel shortly, this will be fun. if not, well, it must be true then.

If “The Press” would have spent 1/100 of the time vetting Obama they have spent on Palin, we wouldn’t be in the mess we are in.
Instead of a little mild child abuse, the whole country is being abused… :O)

The Chicago Tribune censored Doonesbury this morning, so I had to resort to online comics. My preference is newsprint!

@levi—51 yesterday: Agreed that we are not the same person at 51 that we are at 27. But to say that Palin should not be judged by her behavior back then is flawed. By that same logic, we should not give life sentences to 16-year-olds because they are definitely not the same person they will be in just a decade or so. However, conservatives have continuously argued that they SHOULD be responsible for their actions, even including the death penalty for teenagers.

Enough of the Sarah Palin , already! Everyone to whom it matters knows that the woman is an idiot. So what? Remember that 50% of Americans are below average intelligence and say what you will, thanks to our glorious system of democratic representation, we will always elect our governments accordingly.

Can’t the rich afford servants anymore? Or are they still trying to keep unemployment up?

He’s going to make some politician a fine spin-doctor! I forsee a new occupation for our intrepid reporter.

So some hack writer’s Palin story is Trudeau’s facts. It must be tough drawing when your head is always turned left.

omg the kids had to get their own breakfast. i cant stand palin, but dont most kids in america with working parents grab a bowl of cereal in the am? and how come no mention of todd when the kids are running amuck?

It is always impossible to look away when you see a train wreck. Also, do you really think that Obama would have even been nominated if he had been the one with a pregnant teenage daughter? That’s politics. Obama would NEVER have been given that pass.

What is so “comical” is Palin’s biggest detractors have made her filthy rich with all their attention. She is probably the greatest example of a person so many “love to hate”. Keep it up, she just keeps making huge money out of this.

Oh oh the right wing starts its personal attacks again – Trudeu must be on to something here!

Amazing. Must be scared to death of Palin to trash her so. If it was just that they disliked her there would be a couple of strips and done. Personally, I would NOT vote for her, but neither would I waste time trashing her. She is not presidential material. To misuse a quote from comments about the Titanic movie… “The ship sank, get over it.”
trixnnort about 13 years ago
that’s why they have to libel her- they’re scared to death that she will win.

I’m tired of hearing about Sarah but never about reading the Doones…
dennisodoyle about 13 years ago
Why would anybody believe the author, given his wierdo background and obvious hate for Mrs. Palin? This cartoon episode has gone way too far and has ceased having any relevance or humor.

I’ve always known that Trudeau is an extreme leftist, but I never thought he would stoop to libel.
baileydean about 13 years ago
Have all you losers been promised a chance at a romp in the sack with a PalinTM???
baileydean about 13 years ago
“Just because it’s in the book, doesn’t mean it’s real. This smells like swift-boating. I’d have to see a lot of collaborating evidence before I accepted anything in there.”
__Wow… so you accept that the “swift-boating” was a load of crap???

It isn’t “political”, Sarah is just the female Charlie Sheen, but doesn’t need alcohol or drugs to come up with her dialogues.
WaitingMan about 13 years ago
The “liberal” New York Times gave the book a scathingly negative review. Said it was full of unproven innuendo and unverified stories.
baileydean about 13 years ago
chuckle!

Ok, I have now read as much about SP as I ever wanted to (actually I never wanted to). As a Canadian, who can never vote for her or against her, I say you can stop now. I SAID YOU CAN STOP NOW!!
