WASHINGTON Lawrence Summers, the president of Harvard University, has been pilloried for suggesting that women may be biologically unsuited to succeed at mathematics. He may have a point. Just look at Condoleezza Rice.
She's clearly a well-educated, intelligent woman, versed in Brahms and the Bolsheviks, who has just been rewarded for her loyalty with the most plum assignment in the second Bush cabinet. Yet her math skills are woefully inadequate.
She can't do simple equations. She doesn't even know that X times zero equals zero. If you multiply 1,370 dead soldiers times zero weapons of mass destruction, that equals zero achievement for Rice, who helped the president and vice president bamboozle America into war.

Now I, and many others I'm sure, get it. Wasn't much of a competition for MoDo was it?
LOL!!
Dowd is a vicious and ignorant person.
First of all, 1,370 soldiers have not been killied in action in Iraq; unfortunately, soldiers die during routine training, while being transported, etc., so statistically speaking, some of the non-combat deaths that have occurred in Iraq would have occurred even if we had never invaded.
Secondly, we have found WMD, disproving the baseless theory that Hussein had destroyed his pre-Gulf War stockpiles and/or had no post-Gulf War WMD activities. We have found rockets filled with cyclosarin, WMD-related programs, and seed stocks for various biological weapons programs.
Thirdly, we didn't go into war because of then-current possession of WMD; Dowd, like that witch Boxer, needs to actually read the Congressional War Resolution in order to understand the multiple reasons, which included Iraq's aggression against the U.S., its support of terrorist activities, and Hussein's oppression of the Iraqi people.
And lastly, the SSCI investigation on pre-war intelligence cleared the Bush administration of any allegations of misusing that intelligence to mislead us into invading Iraq. The resulting report was approved by unanimously by all Dems as well as Republicans. And the only person I have found on record calling Iraq an "imminent threat" is former senator John Edwards.
Actually she's right - which is why we need to start applying a simle rule of warfare. When confronted by a fanatical enemy, willing to die to the last man, you've got to KILL the last man.
(Please note, I said KILL, not rehabilitate, reeducate, convert or appease. And no points awarded for style.)
>>>And the only person I have found on record calling Iraq an "imminent threat" is former senator John Edwards.
And that was only to his political ambitions...
What is she insinuating about the president, his wife, and Condi in a "Texas triangle"?
Dowd is an utterly predictable one-trick pony, though this one is particularly vile. The fact that she isn't fit to serve Condoleezza Rice breakfast made this one especially painful to read.
Are you kidding?!? Zeta Jones marks the official Dowd downward spiral into insanity and insignificance. It's a MUST post photo of Catherine.
I'm not hopeful.
"It's obvious Maureen Dowd hasn't gotten over her breakup with Michael Douglas who she thinks is a real American president but he didn't do anything but utter the words written for him by Aaron Sorkin and stand where someone director told him to stand and have his hair coifed by somebody who knew what to do, and then he blew it by running off with Catherine Zeta-Jones, leaving Maureen Dowd in the lurch. All she's got now is bourbon for mouthwash, and it's showing on her columns." Rush Limbaugh
Yup! Who cares about the yammering of that nitwit Dowd, bring on C Z-J!
That was hilarious, and would make a great tag line.
Like the teenager said, when his mother found the magazine stash, "I'm only reading this for the pictures....."
Of Zeta-Jones.
A friend of mine writes software, and I'm trying to get him to make a Dowd generator.
nice photo. makes that crap in the article all the more irrelevant.
Even Mo's family can't stand her!!!!!!!

Too funny, too true.
