Turd Blossom?!?

My first reaction to the news that certain papers were dropping or editing Doonesbury this week due to "toilet humor" was, 'MY GOD, in 2005 people are getting upset over the use of the word "turd"? Seriously?'

Then I saw this story.

So the president's nickname for Karl Rove really IS Turd Blossom and Truedeau wasn't making it up? That's spectacular. That just conjures so many… olfactory images.

I do have to give points to this week's featured moron, the Executive Editor of the Providence R.I. Journal who opines (in the original article), "I didn't think [taking out the word] hurt it."

Sure, stripping the word "turd" out of the "turd blossom" punchline doesn't change things much:
"Hey, ____ Blossom! Get IN here!"
Sounds the same to me.
