Another First! VideoBlog? Why Imus Was Fired?

Today I learned that the Austin fishwrap censored Garry Trudeau's strip — "Doonesbury" — by deleting the first two panels that portrayed the POTUS using the barnyard language that is as integral to his speech as it was to The Trickster in days of yore. The Austin fishwrap runs "Doonesdbury" in the Sunday funnies; my former daily, the Amarillo fishwrap, ran "Doonesbury" in the Opinion section and never on Sunday. Thus, the editors of the Austin fishwrap elected to bowdlerize "Doonesbury" because Garry Trudeau had the POTUS wondering what had become of Karl Rove — aka "Turd Blossom" — to his smartmouth boss. The "Doonesbury" strip then provides a stroll down memory lane in review of all of Rove's masterstrokes in trashing great people from Ann Richards, to John McCain, to Max Cleland, and ending with John Kerry.

Thanks to YouTube, it's possible that Rove or "Turdblossom" (your choice) may have added one more notch to his political hits: Don Imus. Click on the video and listen to a CSpan caller venture that Imus was fired — not for his racist comments about the Rutgers women hoopsters — but for his constant reference to the POTUS and the VP as "war criminals." If Karl Rove could mastermind the smearing of Ann Richards, John McCain, Max Cleland, and John Kerry, the destruction of Don Imus would have been child's play. Imagine the POTUS chortling over Turd Blossom's work and it's not a fantasy that Imus was a victim of Rove's Big Lie operation. If this is (fair & balanced) paranoia, so be it.
