"The Cleaning Lady" just doesn't get it. I remember watching her on The Charlie Rose show some months ago. Maddy kept saying, in regard to various aspects of Bush's foreign policy (at the time registering unprecedented gains in the historically intractable problem of limiting WMD proliferation) that she "didn't understand" this, "couldn't fathom" the motivation for that, and was "mystified" by the other. Sad as it was, she kept repeating this theme enough that it soon got funny as well. I was laughing out loud by the time a pizza delivery guy came to the door. He did a double take of the television with that boring PBS guy at the oak table, and musta thought that I'd either just switched over from The Comedy Channel, or that I was crazy.
