First lady Laura Bush is wildly popular with the American people, but not with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, who called her a GOP "attack dog" this week for speaking out on stem cell research."She's been dragged out to be a Republican attack dog on the most contentious issue, stem cell research, defending her husband's, you know, refusal to use more [stem cell] lines," Dowd told CBS "Early Show" host Hannah Storm while promoting her new book "Bushworld." "I think it's a huge mistake," warned the top Timeswoman. "Laura is this fantastic, nice, Marian-the-librarian-type who was curled up with a cat on her lap reading Dostoevsky" and "they drag Laura on to the campaign trail because she had such high approval ratings."
Of course, Dowd failed to note that the first lady's "attack" on stem cell research amounted to warning that the new science wouldn't do much to cure Alzheimer's.
That's exactly what Mr. Stem Cell Research himself, Ron P. Reagan said last month.
"Alzheimer's is a disease, ironically, that probably won't be amenable to treatment through stem cell therapies," Reagan told MSBC's Chris Matthews.
Make that, "attack dog" Ron Reagan.
Someone should tell that cakehole that if her embryo had been used for stem cell research we would never have heard of her--the only real justification for stem cell research I can think of.
Just when you thought they couldn't get lower... Maureen Dowd raises her ugly puss!
Laura Bush has more class in her little toenail than Maureen Dowd will ever possess. Calling Mrs. Bush an "attack dog" won't help the liberal cause one iota. It will serve as another wakeup call to the conservatives, who happen to adore Laura Bush.
Ron P. Reagan does not deserve the title of "Stem cell research man".
Ron doesn't know jack diddly about stem cell research. If you want someone who has been actively involved in reviewing that research, ask Michael Reagan. He knows his stuff.
It's a sign of how effective Laura is, the pitbull attack monsters of the left are after her.
Dowd know Laura Bush makes sense while TeRayZa is a walking looney toon.
Be afraid, Maureen...be very afraid.
This is coming from dowd, one of the pit bulls of the democrats.
Oh please! Just when you think Maureen Dowd can stoop no lower. . .
Still dreaming of being "taken" by Bill Clinton, no doubt. What a pathetic, frustrated spinster.
Let's face it, folks. Politics is PERSONAL. It is a form of war really. These Demonrats are not good people and will smear everyone for power. Even Laura isn't above getting attacked like this. No mention of Teresa's calling Bush unintelligent and pointing to her head and other nasty comments. This is the way they do things.
Probaby half the dems who will vote for Kerry dread Taraysa as first bag lady.
Where's the C Z-J photo?

Maureen Dowd: Hillary Clinton, a saviour of humankind, through her brilliance and hard work.
One of these days she's going to slip up and I'm going to catch a Maureen Dowd article that shows political bias. /s
Reminds me of that maxim about politics..when democrats attack, they are campaigning..when republicans campaign..they are attacking..
Wait, didn't Teresa tell me that women shouldn't be afraid to be "opinionated?"
Bill Clinton has "taken" her yet? She's so said she never got to fill Monica's shoes or blue dress.
