WWDD: What Would Dowd Do . . .

WWDD: What Would Dowd Do . . .

. . . if an airliner had been hijacked during the holidays. Then she would have said something about Bush's inability to protect us. Damned if you do . . . You know, if I have to be damned, I would rather be damned for doing than not.

Thank you, President Bush, for doing all you can to prevent another 9/11.

Op-Ed Columnist: Tizzy Over Lezzies

They like him even though Osama and Al Qaeda are still lurking and frothing, even though we couldn't get through the holidays without an orange alert and flights being canceled, and even though Iraq is still a free-fire zone after a war to get rid of weapons that may not have existed.
In another part of the OP/ED, Dowd says
The president said making illegal immigrants legal would "honor our values," while conservatives went on TV to howl that Mr. Bush was rewarding criminal behavior. The president probably figures that the Republican-led Congress will never pass it anyway, so he can get the credit in states like Florida without having to deal with the results.
Two things here -
  1. NB - CONSERVATIVES CRITICIZE THEIR OWN WHEN THEY DO SOMETHING WE DISAGREE WITH.

    Compare this with the reaction that Dem pols get from liberal pundits.

  2. As for supposing Congress won't pass it, isn't that what was expected of the Campaign "Kill-the-First-Amendment" Finance bill? And then they thought that it would be put down by SCOTUS? Hopefully they have learned their lesson from that . . . but probably not.

Ms. Dowd continues:

Long regarded as the least glamorous of all minority groups, lesbians are now cover girls.
C'mon. Really? Ok, how many of you out there reading this used to think to yourself, "You know, of all the minorities I am bigoted against [and you obviously are if you are conservative], lesbians strike me as the least alluring, the most dull?"
