Does anyone think, if I may start a new line here, that CJZ would make a good Wonder Woman in a feature film???
Don't be a freak. There is only one Wonder Woman and it's no contest who she is.

To think of anyone else is heresy.

>>Good grief, the poor flacks at the NY Times are so uneducated that they are confusing "decimated" with "incapacitated"<<
As much as I despise the Dowdy one, this was a direct quote from the President. But she left out a very important part of the sentence -- the President said, in essence, that those that are dead or captures are incapacitated. Same word, proper usage (IMHO) ofr the President, but Dowd is being investigated for the redaction.
Post #14 gives the skinny (thanks section9)

Whoa..I was not blaspheming about Lynda Carter..but there will be a WW movie and it will star someone other than the most awesome Lynda Carter..

"At least she used the entire quote this time. "But yet in her next sentence she reiterates her original misrepresentation by stating "But Al Qaeda, it became horrifyingly clear a week later in Riyadh, was not decimated;" Once again she insists upon using "Al Qaeda" as the subject instead of "the half that are dead or captured" that was originally inteaded, i.e. said.
Anyone THAT intentionally deceptive must be a miserable human indeed.

I was doing Dowd a favor. I followed the posting guidelines, so kindly go be a posting Nazi somewhere else. And take your soap with you.
I can't recall a post of yours that was not well thought out.
So? You used part of a word someone didn't like? And the post was pulled? For the word "t*uc"? That word does seem a bit over the top. Unless your preface it with the word "dried up" in Dowd's case. Lubrication seems to have left that part of her anatomy. Her brain does seems lubricated. But in a bad way. I refer to Rush Limbaugh's "mouthwash" comment in that regard.
I like your posts. I would have liked to have read post #14 but it isn't here. I'd like to see it put back. But alas, like Dowd will not see Michael Douglas coming around again neither will we see post #14.
Be seeing YOU,
ITNK

One of the problems with conservatives is that they think they can be polite with liberals. Liberals are not interested in being polite, they are not even interested in policy differences. They will lie, they will steal, they will dissemble, and they will not stop unless they are resolutely routed: both intellectually and at the ballot box. Think Lautenberg, (massive) election fraud in 2000, Texas 'Rats hiding across the border, filibuster of judicial nominees, Wellstone (they tried but failed in a stupendously embarassing fashion), etc, etc
If the Pubbies tried any of these things Dowd would be winning Pulitzer's by the six pack. Without the biased media the Dems would be lucky to get 30% of the seats in Congress and those would be all the "special" districts created for Maxine Waters, Corinne Brown, Barbara Lee, et al.
Nice of the Slime to create a special mailbox to point out their lies ( retrace@nytimes.com ). It's basically admitting that they have no idea when their writers are lying, and need people smarter than themselves to point out the more egregious falsehoods.

That old hag pisses me off. Last fall we had to choose a newspaper article to refute, and naturally, I chose one of Ms. Dowd's editorials. It was the one entitled "The Emperor's New Tutor," if you remember it.
What a jag off.

If she thinks re-quoting the same statement Bush made without the sleazy distortion is going to get her off the hook, I hope she's wrong. We need to push the NYT for Discipline for Dowd over that.

I have a question regarding this Dowd woman. Does she ever write columns concerning topics other than George Bush and the current administration?

No, Bush used the word "decimated" correctly. Dowd did NOT, on the other hand, use it correctly.
President Bush said that Al Qaeda is being decimated. That's correct. Everytime that you kill 1 out of every 10 of a group of people, they are being decimated.
In contrast, Dowd said that because Al Qaeda still had members alive who were capable of hitting us in Saudi Arabia, for example, that they were not decimated.
But that's incorrect. We have decimated them time and time again, so much so that half of their leaders are dead or imprisoned. We will continue to decimate them, but unlike poor Ms. Dowd, I am actually intelligent-enough to know that a decimated group can still hit back.
Had the poor tramp used the word "incapacitated", then she potentially could have made the correct assertation that Al Qaeda is not yet incapacitated. Of course, making such a statement would have been meaningless to her, as it wouldn't have furthered her Socialistic agenda nor bashed President Bush (since that's essentially what he said in the first place).
No matter. She didn't even use the word "incapacitated". Instead, she claimed, erroneously, that Al Qaeda clearly hadn't been "decimated".
She's wrong. She didn't use even so much as the correct word, and she also misquoted President Bush in her original version of this now-sanitized article.
She's a hack. She's unqualified to write for any large-circulation publication because she's completely, and I mean it when I say completely, unobjective.
She has a powerful job at a powerful publication only because Leftist radicals have taken control of the NY Times.

Can you believe how long Mo Dowd has stayed in the tank for the Democrats in exchange for just one pity poke from Michael Douglas? CLINTON, BEGALA & CARVILLE CHORUS: "Come on Mike, every player knows there are times you have to give up the body for the good of the team."
