banned comic: bush’s illegal drug use not funny?

Moved by the suggestion of one of my favorite bloggers - Russell Beattie - I thought I’d share this comic with anyone that runs across my blog. Looks like the Tribune and a few other papers have banned this comic, as it makes a funny statement about some pretty heavy evidence about the Pres and the fun he’s had. I doubt this is the first comic - politcal cartoon or otherwise - to comment so explicitely about a sketchy president.
In case you haved read or heard about it, there is plenty out there regarding the secret taped conversation where President Bush talks about how to deal with questions regarding his use of illegal drugs in the past. Remember, this tape was made without the president’s knowledge.. but it a state where it’s perfectly legal to record a conversation without permission.








I think this comic’s most objectionable quality is that it assumes that Bush is astute enough to self-medicate with the pot. That would prove him to be a rather functional drunk.
