Grandma's House

I didn't think it was possible, but Maureen Dowd of the New York Times has gone off the deep end, climbed back up, and gone off again. She states in this article:

Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney jumped in the polls because they cast their convention as a Western. They were the "Magnificent Seven," steely-eyed, gun-slinging samurai riding in to save the frightened town: Rudolph Giuliani, John McCain, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Zell Miller, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush and Poppy Bush, who was on "Imus" comparing Mr. Kerry with Jane Fonda.

Then she gets really warped, and states:

After 9/11, Americans want tough guys who will protect them from Al Qaeda. They seem to be willing to settle for an impersonation of tough guys by Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney, who were so busy with their vanity war in Iraq that they missed critical opportunities to vanquish Al Qaeda and spent money on a foreign occupation that could have been used to secure American ports and come up with plans before the Beslan tragedy to protect children from terrorists.(emphasis mine - ed)

Could someone please contact Ms. Dowd and give her a piece of their mind? It's obvious she doesn't have any of her own. I think her last marble just rolled down the street.
