Questions of sexual orientation and the need for good lovin aside, the most radical statement in the strip is this bit about Condi being "hell-bent" to destroy the world.
In a way, it was easier to pull the strip by centering on nudge-nudge-say-no-more innuendo while conveniently forgetting about the suggestion that the Bush Administration, including the heir to McNamara's death-technocrat role, Ms. Rice, are mad, bad and dangerous to know. Actually, just plain dangerous.
