Back in 2006 (I think), Tinsley ran a belated Veteran's Day tribute in which he explained the omission by saying "I'm drawn two weeks in advance." It was a lame excuse then, too.Erichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00083091864939104540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-55732965612228098512010-11-11T23:12:00.587-08:002010-11-11T23:12:00.587-08:00Waah waah waah juan williams.

You always criticize him for "forgetting" Veterans Day. Every year. Well, I hate to inform you, but he has to turn in his comics 2 weeks in advance. So how is he to know about an event TWO WEEKS IN THE FUTURE?<br /><br />You see how ridiculous you all are? Maybe next year when Mallard/Bruce "forgets" Veterans Day you'll think "oh, it's not him forgetting Veterans Day. It's not him not supporting the troops. It's me trying the same old tired attack and forgetting I was owned for it last year. I better cut it out."<br /><br />But I think that's too much to ask for troop-hating Blame-America-Firsters who drool over Doonesbury.Marion Delgadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09493068399042656060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-91246064811535373512010-11-11T16:06:44.020-08:002010-11-11T16:06:44.020-08:00Again, Ducky lives his own little world world wher...Again, Ducky lives his own little world world where these people A: know who he is, b: give a shit.<br /><br />It should be illegal to write scripts this bad.Ducky is Rightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-71498643975906072252010-11-11T13:53:54.679-08:002010-11-11T13:53:54.679-08:00Tinsley tries his hardest to convince us that ever...Tinsley tries his hardest to convince us that everyone is as racist as he is, Which is weird because racism is dead, I know because Mallard said so.Beef Wellingtonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-76467374274945560572010-11-11T12:55:07.476-08:002010-11-11T12:55:07.476-08:00Keith OlberStrawman was right the first time.Keith OlberStrawman was right the first time.Bill the Splutnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-79512291274124156952010-11-11T12:11:11.054-08:002010-11-11T12:11:11.054-08:00Shhh... no one tell Brucie that Keith Olbermann do...Shhh... no one tell Brucie that Keith Olbermann doesn't know or care who he is.
