Yes, it is a keeper. And the following paragraphs as well (though they are more like Jon Stewart clips than original Dowdisms; I can see his facial expressions now, I have to remember to watch tonight and catch last night's show in rerun sometime): The way forward, General Petraeus said, should be “conditions-based.” Even in a place as prosaic as the Senate, this news spurred existential angst. Senator Evan Bayh summed up the Dada nature of our plan in Iraq: “We’ll know when we get there, and we don’t know when we’re going to get there.” A confused Chuck Hagel asked the pair: “So, where’s the surge? What are we doing? I don’t see Secretary Rice doing any Kissinger-esque flying around. Where is the diplomatic surge? ... So, where is the surge? What are you talking about?” Condi is too busy floating trial balloons about being John McCain’s running mate to bother about the fact that she was instrumental in two historic blunders: 9/11 and Iraq. Progress will be made.... lol
