Doonesbury calls the election

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 31, 2008 02:00 PM

Left-wing cartoonist and political prognosticator Gary Trudeau has already drawn his Obama victory strip and distributed it to hundreds of newspapers. A few editors are mulling over Trudeau’s premature celebration, but he’s not budging.

Make way for Trudeau on the plane!

    If McCain wins, I can’t wait to see all these morons wiping the egg off their faces.

    I remember when Bush beat Kerry (lurch) in 2004, the next day all the NBC reporters, anchors (including chipmunk cheeks Couric) were all dressed in black as if they had just come back from a funeral.

    So in your free time Trudeau, why don’t you make one of Obama laughing about being better off now then you were four years ago…hint: the Obama family income was 205k (obviously before M’s big payoff raise).

    Trudeau has made a living out of insulting Americans who very quickly recognized,decades ago, that his so-called “cartoons” are NOT humorous! His hard left liberal leanings speak ONLY to his hard left liberal readers! If Obama becomes POTUSA, Trudeau wants to be on the Inauguration Invitee List. If/when the (UN)Fairness Doctrine is passed by Congress, he is making sure that his “free speech” rights are protected and whichever liberal papers are left in the USA will pay him for his “DoomsDay” opinionated political, deceitful and depressing take on our pride in America which is in danger of losing the mantra – “Land of the Free”! jb

    Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
    – Proverbs 16:18

    I don’t suppose Trudeau ever read that warning.

    There are two groups of people who are being galvanized to get out and vote: liberals and lefties in their hatred and lust for “revenge” for the past eight years; and those who watch Hopenchange & Co.’s increasingly brazen displays of hubris, and who — even though they may not be crazy for McCain — will if for no other reason cast their ballots as a middle-finger statement to The Man Who Would Be King and to the media cheerleaders carrying him on their shoulders.

    A big reason why the polls are tightening is because the former group are already tapped out, while the latter group is growing in both numbers and emotional intensity.

    So let Hopenchange — with his already-written inaugural address, with his propaganda informercial, with his million-dollar election night party preparations, with his already-formed “transition team,” with his phony presidential seal, and with his “touchdown-dance-on-the-40-yard-line” sycophants like Trudeau — go on doing what they’re doing.

    They’re only reminding people like me of Admiral Yamamoto’s prophecy after Pearl Harbor: “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant, and to fill him with a terrible resolve.”

    Personally, I go by what I see. There have been lines out the door every day of early voting, and there aren’t many Democrats in this county. I’ve seen a total of two Obama yard signs, and I’ve been through a lot of local neighborhoods lately. Obama is back campaigning in Iowa – a state he’s supposed to have in the bag (supposedly to increase his margin of victory. And another member of Obama’s campaign has spilled the beans on their internal polling – they’re scared.

    You don’t know how right you are. There are rumored to be masses of senior military members who will drop their papers to retire before 20 Jan if Obummer wins. My wife has 23 in now and intends to retire in a couple more. She can’t stand the thought of Oboyoboy’s name on her certificate.

    I have always thought that if Obama is less then 5% in the ramasen(sp) poll, he is finished. With the momentum shifting towards McCain this late, the pendulum will be situated rightward come election day. All in part because of the brady effect as well as general electorial apathy from key constituents (ie young people). The best thing from the McCain side of things is to allow young people to continue to believe that Obama has the election in the bag. Then the bran-dead vote will not see the need to go to the polls come Tuesday.

    Oh. My. Gosh. This is on politics, but somewhat O/T. Still, I just pulled this from Tapper’s page over at abc, from Obama’s speech:

    “The point is, though, that — and it’s not just charity, it’s not just that I want to help the middle class and working people who are trying to get in the middle class — it’s that when we actually make sure that everybody’s got a shot – when young people can all go to college, when everybody’s got decent health care, when everybody’s got a little more money at the end of the month – then guess what? Everybody starts spending that money, they decide maybe I can afford a new car, maybe I can afford a computer for my child. They can buy the products and services that businesses are selling and everybody is better off. All boats rise.

    Where do I begin?? By his own words, the “middle class” are not those who work. (Today, Bill Richardson lowered the amount to $120k, by the way). Then he’s saying, if he steals from others to give to the poor, the poor will buy new cars and we’ll all be better off. Or maybe they’ll buy a boat and all our boats will rise.
    Honey, I don’t HAVE a boat because I can’t AFFORD a boat, and I can’t BUY a new car because I can’t AFFORD a new car. And neither of those two issues are someone else’s problem to fix, certainly not those who this fraud would tax to help me out.
    How can the world not see, by this man’s words, that he poses grave danger to this country’s economy?

    My Dad had a response to that…. he’d always say, ” How does it feel to want?” This was usually in response to us kids when we’d caterwaul ” I want that!”

    Doonesbury, despite it’s liberal slant was actually pretty funny back in the 70′s. Most of the humor was directed at the right but he mocked the left too, especially hippies and the drug culture. It was always enjoyable to read. After Reagan was elected Trudea’s cartoon took on a very bitter edge, grew worse through the 80′s, and the humor became vicious to the point it was no more than politcal spin. I eventually gave up reading it some time ago as, like so many things liberal, became too sanctimonious and arrogant.

    I just saw that. It looks like opposing tax increases will make one selfish. So Republicans (or anybody else) that oppose him will be painted as selfish racists. We are only missing the part about not caring about children and elderly to complete the traditional Democrat world view.

    Doonesbury is a cartoon, John Stewart is a comedy show. Everyone knows they’re not news. Even Fox News admits Obama is likely to win. Where’s the foul?

    Doctor put you on new meds, or have you been stealing from your students?
    First almost genuine post I have seen from you knucklehead!
