Tribune spikes 'Boondocks' today for "presenting inaccurate information"
I guess they only allow inaccurate information on the front page, as long as it's Bush talking about WMD or Social Security...

1. can the Trib prove the "presenting inaccurate information"???
Edited on Mon Feb-28-05 09:12 AM by papau
I thought that 1972 community service was cocaine and covered up - so is the Trib saying there was no cover up?

Plus in the tape he is given the chance to nod his head when someone else says he did not take cocaine - and Bush says "I have not denied taking cocaine" - paraphrased as the above is from memory

2. Bush* didn't say the 3 words, "I smoked weed" in that exact order...
Therefore, Repuke logic dictates that Bush* Didn't Smoke Weed.

Repuke logic will be the death of us all.

5. contact whoever syndicates Boondocks
The url is too tiny in that toon for me to read. Over at Daryl Cagle's cartoon site at www.slate.com , he presents that you can buy distribution rights for a modest fee. You can even get his cartoonists to draw a custom toon for a modest fee. I don't know if Cagle deals in Boondocks.

7. Go to...
http://www.ucomics.com/boondocks/ , then click on the area below the comic, below the "About the Boondocks" spiel, labeled "Buy The Boondocks for your Web, wireless or print publication."

The wisdom of the streetwise kids who don't have to be told what shrub was up to and why.
