Orlando Sentinel cartoon calls bush "AWOL"--this is HUGE

Political carton shows drawing of "bush action figure".

Caption says: Now! Only $39.95! Get your George W. Bush authentic aviator action doll! Put it on your desk, or your mantel. And in three days watch it actually go AWOL!

It wasn't in their online edition so I can't give you a link, but take my word for it, this is a huge statement for the usually conservative sentinel to make.

The worm seems to be turning.

11. Don Wright must be a DUer
:ewvilgrin:... Some DUer photoshopped the doll and used the same sentiment, if not the exact words, on the day the doll appeared..

Drip drip drip..:)

14. Don Wright is a genius.
Thanks for posting the cartoon, Best_man23 and thanks for the heads-up, Reprobate!

To think people actually don't know he's a deserter during war time.
