I wonder if ADA covers writers with dementia.

There's no evidence that Thomas is demented. The dementia excuse is being bantied about by leftist apologists. The obvious response is to ask: “how long has Thomas been affected by dementia?”. Followups include: “how many of her past columns were nothing but the ravings of dementia?; or “how much of her criticism of President Bush was due to her dementia?”.

Everything Thomas said, in her fateful interview, was in keeping with her oft-stated philosophy. The only difference was; this time she didn't equivocate or obfuscate.
