This is just insane. Several newspapers, including the Chicago Tribune and apparently (though I have not confirmed) our own Minneapolis StarTribune, chose not to run today's Boondoggle because it "presents inaccurate information as fact."
"Bush got recorded admitting that he smoked weed." one character says in the comic's single panel. "Maybe he smoked it to take the edge off the coke," comes the reply.
Admit it. Funny. And more to the point, a comic strip! I do hope that the editors of these papers hold their news reporters to a higher standard than the comics artists and take care when printing inaccurate statements from the Bush administration.
