Interesting that the Doonesbury's daily cartoon is getting yanked in 10-12 newspapers around the country this Tuesday and Wednesday for using Karl Rove's nickname "Turd Blossom". Apparently Turd Blossom is just too offensive for some communities sensitivities.
The irony here is, it's not Doonesbury responsible for Rove's tag, it's president Bush who gave that term of fondness to his aide. I find the imagery that Turd Blosom evokes reflective of our president's good-old-boy "country roots" he likes to exploit. But apparently it offends folks in communities served by those 10-12 newspapers.
Evidently these same folks are not offended, however, by the hundred thousand plus deaths of Americans and Iraqis resulting from the policies of Bush's turd blosom.
And there's enough irony in that to rekindle our dying steel industry!

Being raised on a farm, I understand the value of good manure to fertilize the crops and make the rose bushes bloom. However, all these bushes are barren of fruit and in need of being pulled up root and branch for the welfare of our country and all other countries around the world they cast coveteous eyes upon. President Bush needs to be laughed out of office and further exposed as the pretender he is. Calling his chief adviser, Turd Blosom" does not remove the stench rising from his failed administration. God help us all.
