Some Pull 'Doonesbury' Over Rove Moniker

"Doonesbury" made reference to a slightly off-color nickname for presidential adviser Karl Rove.

QUICKVOTE
Should newspaper editors have pulled the "Doonesbury" comic strips that use a colorful nickname for Karl Rove?
Yes
No

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (AP) -- It may be President Bush's nickname for key political adviser Karl Rove, but some editors don't think it belongs in their newspapers.

About a dozen papers objected to Tuesday's and Wednesday's "Doonesbury" comic strips, and some either pulled or edited them.

The strips refer to Rove, the White House deputy chief of staff, as "Turd Blossom."

Did Bush really come up with that fantastic nickname all himself? I wouldn't have credited the cretin with that level of creativity myself.

So great I got to say it big....TURD BLOSSOM!

Hilarious. I have a little more respect for Bushee now.
