Well, Dowd was better as a reporter, when the editors held her in check somewhat, and she didn't have the 3-a-week grind. She does have an attitude problem, probably an occupational hazard from hanging around politicians too long. As for what she knows about foreign policy, she knows about Perle's role, which puts her ahead of most people. Friedman would be about the only op-ed type I make a point to read, also. People post way too much of that stuff around here. In the intemperance spectrum, I don't think Dowd's that much of an outlier in that class.
