Maureen Dowd today
Love her take on most everything. Here's a quote from her editorial today regarding the dying shrub:

"He can't admit what the Duelfer report says, that Saddam was no threat to the U.S. or any other country. The mushroom cloud was a Fig Newton of Dick Cheney's feverish imagination. That would mean W. didn't fix his father's screw-up, but he screwed up his father's fix. A big Oedipal oops."
"...Mr. Bush tried to pretend the devastating Duelfer report backed him up, noting after the report came out that Saddam "retained the knowledge, the materials, the means and the intent to produce weapons of mass destruction and could have passed this knowledge to our terrorist enemies."

W. should have followed his father's policy on hypotheticals. As Poppy Bush would say, when someone asked him to be speculative: "If a frog had wings, it wouldn't bump its tail on the ground."

3. She still uses the same dirty tricks.
She got busted by bloggers recently for a quote she attributed to Kerry last spring, "Who among us doesn't love NASCAR?"

She based an article on this quote, and how it proves Kerry is a NE liberal elitist, out of touch with the common man.

Of course, he never said that, and she was only going by what someone else at the Times told her, she never bothered to check. As far as I know, she didn't get in any trouble over it.
