I kick myself every time I read one of her columns. Once again, I promise myself: "I will NEVER subject myself to Dowd drivel again, as long as I live." I got to this sentence:
Mr. Bush may have wanted to turn up the volume on Osama again to divert attention from law enforcement failures to get any break in the anthrax and hijacking cases
and hit myself up side the head. I get nauseous at blatant illogic, and assertion without evidence. That's all her columns EVER contain. When will I learn?

But this time everybody's on board with the goal, even if some allies and segments of the European public are concerned about tactics. I think Europe ought to be damn concerned about Bin Laden's tactics, and I think anyone living over there wonders when one of their cities is gonna go boom. The question is no longer if but when...
And anyone with a brain between their ears isn't going to take Maureen Dowd's word on anything.

Why do you suppose so many liberals advocate ground troops asap? I think they want to see casualties. That would make great election propaganda in '04.

Osama reminds her of Michael Douglas and the war is symbolic of her struggle with Catherine Zeta Jones for his affections.Not bad. Maybe you could tie in ethnicity, since Dowd is shanty Irish and Zeta Jones is Welsh.

Sit down M.O. you ignorant witch. Thank God your vanity says we have to look at your ugly mug when your column is in the paper. That way we can more easily skip your childish rants. I can't believe anyone actually pays this women to hear her outlandish opinions on anything. She is a difinite candidate for cavewoman of the year.

Kinda reminds me of another know-it-all, obnoxious, bitch in bulls clothing, that texas twit, that arrogant austin ASS, Molly, the whiner, Ivins. I keep saying the same thing you do and might even make it to the last sentence in her drivel, until I am force to exclaim, after a session of projectile vomiting, NEVER AGAIN!

I'll give her that, "beards as beards" is a good one.
Lines like that are probably what make me read her. Unfortunately, she uses her talent for eeeevil.

She disgusts me so I can't even finish reading this clap trap......

But the stories about the lame rebel force with its wooden saddles and line of old Russian tanks get sillier and sillier, like scenes out of the Marx Brothers or Woody Allen's "Bananas." Guess Maureen doesn't read her own paper! Come on- admit it, honey! You WANTED the Northern Alliance to fail! You had some clever punchline that you couldn't WAIT to share with us. Now, we'll never know what it was. (sigh)
