UPDATE: No Winner Yet In Doonsebury Contest!
<snip>
:D

<snip>

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A $10,000 reward offered by the "Doonesbury" comic strip for proof that President Bush (news - web sites) served in the Alabama National Guard during the Vietnam War has elicited over 1,300 responses but turned up no credible evidence yet, the cartoonist said on Friday.

With so much controversy surrounding Bush's National Guard service, a credible witness would have turned up by now if there was one, said Garry Trudeau.

"You can be sure some very motivated people have tried to find a witness who can establish Bush's presence at Dannelly Base beyond a reasonable doubt," said the creator of the politically irreverent and satirical daily cartoon. "Anyone who could do so would almost certainly have surfaced by now."

"Doonesbury" first posted the award on Monday.

2. I was listening to our local AM station after work yesterday
WRVA - Rush, Savage all that shit - and there was a local shouting head named Malony ("no Baloney" or some shit like that) and he's going on and on and on and on about how Trudeau "isn't relevant" any more, and the last time he was funny was like 30 years ago and how when Rethugs find out they're wrong about something (i.e. Kerry/intern/sex) that they admit it and move on - BUT NOT DEMOCRATS!!

They will SELF DESTRUCT over the Bush* AWOL allegations and lies and the sooner the better bla bla fucking BLA!!! and that Doonesbury is just fanning the flames of lies that will hopefully lead to liberal's downfall...

If I had a cell phone I would have called to tell him to shut the fuck up and take a breath before his lungs collapsed from the vacuum created bu his incessant droning - but I know there's NO way they'd let me past the phone screeners...
