Maureen Dowd(pro Cindy): Why No Tea and Sympathy?

[Divernan]

Maureen Dowd is back from her break/sabbatical/whatever
with an excellent column:

http:www.nytimes.com/

"There's an angry mother of a dead soldier camping outside his Crawford ranch, demanding to see a president who prefers his sympathy to be carefully choreographed. . . if only her husband were a CIA operative, Bush could out him."

On edit: tried to fix my link to NY Times. this should take you to front page - then go to "Opinions"

4. Great editorial...Dowd is spot on in this one...

She struck at the Bushites trying to smear this Gold Star Mother. The unmitigated shamelessness of these churls...to try and attack the credibility of a woman who has lost her son to the Great Leader's personal war...it sickens me. These are not men and women as we know them, they are cancerous sores on the national soul; Bush and his gang of fascist miscreants are beneath contempt and deserve only one fate...

5. Everyone should send an email

praising Dowd and any other media outlets that give attention to this story. I am also sending emails criticizing any media that chooses the runaway bride and other BS as if that is something we want to see. Every little bit helps. Did anyone see her on GMA this morning??? I could not watch, but was wondering if they showed her.

8. BushCo is fast approaching...

their "at long last have you no decency?" moment. You can only smear so many people before everybody realizes it's you, not them.
