Apparently Gary Trudeau has pissed off the White House again, or, at least, he’s pissed off some of the country’s more conservative newspaper editors with his strip for today.
To quote the CNN story:
In the strip, Bush and an aide are lamenting the problems the administration has had over allegations that Rove leaked the name of a CIA officer to reporters.
Bush says, “Karl’s sure been earnin’ his nickname lately.”
The unnamed aide says, “Boy Genius? I’m not so sure sir …”
Bush then says, “Hey Turd Blossom! Get in here.”
The term is said to be one of several nicknames Bush uses for Rove, one of his closest allies and who is widely credited for Bush’s election in 2000 and re-election in 2004.
So, if Bush refers to one of his closest allies as a piece of shit, how do you think he regards the American people?
Only 1195 days until the next election. I’m not sure if this is good or bad.
I wonder if it’s a reference to pooh not emitting odors? He’s a very creepy guy. (I’ll let you decide to whom the pronoun is referring.)
