They can't even leave the comics alone!

There was an interesting discovery made by a co-worker in the comics sections of the Pittsburgh Papers. The comic Bizarro, by Dan Piraro, is a single panel laugher in the school of 'The Far Side'. Yesterday, the panel showed a doctor in scrubs, fresh from the operating room, speaking to a man seated on a typical, hospital-style, waiting room bench.

In the Post-Gazette, known for its liberal editorial bias, the doctor's speech balloon contains the punchline: "She's going to be just fine -- she's quite a fighter. The anesthesiologist has a black eye, and I think she may have cracked my ribs."

Pretty funny, right?

However, the Tribune-Review, the conservative paper made nationally famous by Theresa Heinz Kerry's "shove it" incident, had quite a different caption:

"Your husband is in the recovery room. You could go back and see him if you like, but our government-sanctioned bigotry forbids it."

Huh? Not at all funny.

Obviously, someone (not sure if it's the artist, the syndicator, or a homosexual Trib employee) wanted to not only lash out at the conservative readership, but also deprive them of a good chuckle.

I wonder if this happened elsewhere?

Anyway, it gives you an idea how low the liberals in general, and the homosexual lobby in particular, will sink to try and convince intelligent people to believe utter bullshit.
