Doonesbury author caught by hoax

First seen here.

Last Sunday's Doonesbury cartoon, which has basically been a non-stop Bush bash since the election, laughs at Bush for coming out lowest in some institution's IQ test.

Too bad the institution and the test were both completely fictional, an internet hoax, which had already been pointed out in several other publications.

Trudeau, in his rush to ridicule Bush, apparently overlooked this. His strip (check out back strips on his site) has been a constant attempt to ridicule Bush as a congenital idiot, the patsy of his advisors, and barely able to talk without drooling. Had Trudeau subjected Clinton to this kind of exaggeration, the Doonesbury strip would have been constantly showing Clinton boinking herds of Playboy Bunnies on the White House lawn.
