For once the duck and I agree. Although I would also apply it to conservative/libertarian catchphrases too,

Looks like the duck has a little problem with the sauce.

'Mallard Fillmore' creator arrested for DUI

Hoosier Edward Bruce Tinsley, creator of the conservative comic strip Mallard Fillmore, was arrested in Columbus Dec. 4 and charged with operating a vehicle under the influence -- his second alcohol-related arrest in less that four months, according to the Bartholomew County Sheriff's Department.

Tinsley, 48, who lives in Columbus, had a blood-alcohol level of 0.14 -- almost twice the level at which an Indiana driver is considered intoxicated. He posted $755 bond.
On Aug. 26, Tinsley was arrested for public intoxication, according to the sheriff's department.

Mallard Fillmore, about a conservative duck, appears in almost 400 newspapers nationwide, including The Indianapolis Star.

Finally, we get a preview of Tinsley's legal strategy:

Or is he going with the eggnog defense?

Apparently, we're not the only ones obsessed with Tinsley:

Tinsley must have been drunk when he came up with this one.

It's a football with football-shaped legs.

And did the duck just vomit?
