In reply to the discussion: Doonesbury: "People come to me and say: Sir? you normalized rape so beautifully..." [View all]PatSeg
(47,822 posts)31. Possibly an attempt to sound
more literate than he actually is? His use of the word "beautiful" is especially bizarre. It is such a basic, simple word and he applies it in the oddest ways.
- Beautiful sleeping gas
- Beautiful border wall
- Beautiful piece of chocolate cake
- Beautiful new healthcare bill
- Beautiful (confederate) statues
- Beautiful military equipment
- Beautiful clean coal
- Beautiful temperament (his of course)
- Beautiful tax dollars
- Beautiful phones (the phones in the White House)
Apparently, he has such a limited vocabulary, he uses a handful of adjectives and adverbs over and over again, often in meaningless ways.

The Boston Globe left off the first two panels. So, thanks for posting this!

Yes, I knew that was a thing they do. But in this example, those missing panels were essential.
