Maureen Dowd: Who's on first?

[Gasping4Truth]

There is something grotesque about Scooter's hiding behind the press with his little conspiracy, given that he's part of an administration that despises the press and tried to make its work almost impossible.

To protect a war spun from fantasy, the Bush team played dirty. Unfortunately for them, this time they Swift-boated an American whose job gave her legal protection from the business-as-usual smear campaign.

No one expects him to "flip," unless he finally gets the sort of fancy white-collar criminal lawyer that The Washington Post said he is searching for - like the ones who succeeded in getting Karl Rove off the hook, at least for now - and the lawyer tells Scooter to nail his boss to save himself.

This administration's grand schemes always end up as the opposite. Officials say they're promoting national security when they're hurting it; they say they're squelching terrorists when they're breeding them; they say they're bringing stability to Iraq when the country's imploding. (The U.S. announced five more military deaths yesterday.)

3. The CHURCH OF RUSSERT!!! Too clever!

He does look like a fat, self-satisfied monsignor, doesn't he?


Scooter does seem like a big fat liar in the indictment. And not a
clever one, since his deception hinged on, of all people, the popular
monsignor of the trusted Sunday Church of Russert. Does Scooter hope
to persuade a jury to believe him instead of Little Russ?

Good luck.

5. I love Maureen. She put a beatdown on Miss Judas Thang.

As usual, she's on target.


Here's my own take on Bush and Who's on first a couple of weeks ago:

6. Are we talking about a teenager

or the president(sic)of the USA?

"And the most dangerous opposite of all: W. was listening to a
surrogate father he shouldn't have been listening to, and not
listening to his real father, who deserved to be listened to."

The article is a Brilliant Zinger by Dowd.

7. says Scooter does not have a chance up against monsignor Russert.
