C-SPAN airs Maureen Dowd almost every week, but they never archive her (for the general public)..

c-span.org

Evil, mean little women, maybe exactly what some anglo-british-murricans get excited by??
(however, I think Thatcher still gets more Republican motherly meaning points).

Well, they do it on the channel for which they do not even allow any archiving

There is no doubt that the overwhelming majority of white Americans desire that there be as few Negroes as possible in America. If the Negroes could be eliminated from America or greatly decreased in numbers, this would meet the whites' approval -- provided that it could be accomplished by means which are also approved. Correspondingly, an increase of the proportion of Negroes in the American population is commonly looked upon as undesirable.

little blond smart women too, the great victorian "cavort (romp) you neighbor's" colonial mad-cow heritage..

What is worse, her elderly sister in Texas has also yet to show any understanding on how a two-party-system works. (bless her too)..

He said Mr. Bush had only a few things to accomplish: train a real Iraqi Army that includes all religious and ethnic groups, make the Shiites stop hating the Sunnis and the Kurds stop hating everyone, and keep the Iranians from creating a theocratic dictatorship in Iraq. Oh, yeah, and a couple of other teensy little things: our troops have to defeat the vicious Iraq insurgency, and Mr. Bush needs to keep domestic support for the war.

Small details. We should be able to pave Iraq by X-mas. I believe that Bush, et al, have already said that the US [or coalition of the willing] can't defeat the insurgency. That is a detail for the Iraqis to take care of. I wonder what we do if a civil war breaks out while we're there? Best to worry about that later.

I suspect that sooner or later Iraq will end up being three countries.

great stuff here. I agree, you know you're in trouble
when Kissinger is trying to help you get out.
At least Nixon and Kissinger were smart men - fallible - but smart - unlike W.
