KHON2 - The Team That Knows Hawaii | HomeBush comic pulled from papers
About a dozen newspapers across the country pulled today's "Doonesbury" comic strip. The strip refers to President Bush's key political adviser Karl Rove, who is alleged to have leaked the name of a CIA officer to reporters.
The strip refers to Rove as a "turd blossom," which is said to be one of the President's nicknames for Rove.
Some newspaper editors thought the nickname didn't belong in their papers.
Rhode Island's Providence Journal ran the strip, but removed the nickname which it considered to be offensive.
The Kansas City Star removed the strip entirely, and replaced it with an older one.
