political tabloids like the Washington Times. TABLOID: "A newspaper of small format giving the news in condensed form, usually with illustrated, often sensational material." First, off, the "Washington Times" not a tabloid, John. The NY "Post" and "Daily News" are "tabloids." Secondly, the NY Times was caught with the fake stories this year, not the WT. That said, The NYT is incomparably the better paper. It's like the old days of the Yankees vs the Senators. They have the money and circulation. But you don't improve your political position by constantly denigrating the WT, IMO.

Credibility? Dowd? At her best, she made her name doing funny little style pieces about Washington personalities. I never thought that sort of thing conferred credibility. Does one speak of the credibility of PJ O'Rourke? Even if you think that Dowd's personalizing style transfers well to matters of foreign policy (I don't), you have to acknowledge that she has been caught twisting a Bush quote with elipses in such a manner as to give a pronoun a different antecedent and change the meaning of the quote.
