"Articulate" was dubbed racist regardless of usage by the evul libruls according to this strip.<BR/><BR/>Oddly enough, the fact that Bush also called him "attractive" was overlooked.

That's some kind of new record, isn't it? (Chapaquiddick jokes don't count.) Methinks Tinshley must have done his semiannual cleaning-up-of-the-empties, and this strip must have been stuck to the bottom of a can of Miller with a quarter-inch of backwash in it, dating back a third of a year or so.<BR/><BR/>God knows what we'll get if he ever does his laundry.
