There is an urgent need for Psychotherapy by the libs after their devastating election loss. You should read Susan Estrich, too...she says Hillary can't win and Bill needs to realize it!

Pretty ironic title from the queen of lib toadies.

"I went to see the magical "Pericles'' at the Shakespeare Theater the other night."

With your Mom, Mo? I find it hard to believe that any man in his right mind would squire you around town. Blech.

This woman annoys me to no end. Keep posting her articles, please! LOL!

"Bush won; therefore he should abandon his policies and appoint Democrats to his cabinet."

Have I got that right?

[nathanbedford]

In an ominous echo of the old loyalty oaths, Mr. Goss has warned employees at the agency that their job is to "support the administration and its policies in our work.''

Am I mistaken or is this not a distortion of the rankest sort? I do not have the quotation before me but my recollection is that the memo exorts the staff to refrain from leaks which would undermine the administration. And that is a pole apart.

After the Republicans faced a electoral loss in 1992, GOP leaders crafted a new, positive plan for the future. The "Contract With America" convinced some Democrat voters that the Republicans had a better vision for the future. Because the GOP turned the electoral loss of 1992 into an opportunity to persuade the other side, the GOP has controlled the House ever since 1994. That vision has led to control of the Senate and Presidency.

Democrats, such as Dowd, faced with electoral losses in 2000, 2002 and 2004 do not try to persuade Republican voters. Dowd and others malign Republicans. This is not a recipe to convince the other side to change their votes. At the rate Dowd and other Democrats are going, they will be in the minority for the foreseeable future.

Ain't it great, the Clintoon administration was admired for its loyalty. As I recall no one even resigned after Bubba lied face to face to his entire cabinet, no problem in Dowdie World right?

Somehow we are now to believe that Bush shouldn't have a loyal cabinet, how dare he? These libs are really really wacked out and getting worse, I for one am LOVING it!

[Gaffrig]

Rules.

[Lazamataz]

(Maureen Down extremely bitter)

As opposed to all the other articles she writes.....?

[Cowboy Bob]

Rulers who admit they've erred?

The Libs have become almost obsessive in their attempts to get Bush to "admit" that he made some mistakes. Well, I don't recall Kerry (or any Lib) ever admitting any errors. They just blame everybody else for their mistakes.

[Oldsailor]

The ranting of an unfulfilled "old maid" who's sexual fantasies must be pretty pathetic as well.

[bitt]

hey Mo, STFU.

The New York Times should be vetting anything this crazy woman writes...she and Helen Thomas, and Molly Ivans, are out of control. What gives them the right to publish such slander and lies with such reckless abandon? We are to overlook their distortions because they are the "voices of women journalists"?

Well, I say STFU to them all.

[King Prout]

ye gods, what a [deleted] this woman is.

[MisterRepublican]

[saleman]

I could be wrong but...

If I remember correctly Porter Goss didn't say "our job is to support the administration and it's policy's" as Ms Dowd and other lib's continue to claim.

I remember the memo as saying something like "our job is not to make policy" Any help?

[Raffus]

These guys need

but they still don't get it.

[Edgerunner]

Never in all my years have I ever read a document that is so full of lies and distortions as this document.
And we wonder: how do people and countries become the bad guys? This is how...

[truthluva]

This woman needs to get out into the real world for a change. She is a self-indulgent, self-proclaimed intellectual. The problem with most 'intellectuals' is they constantly confuse 'an intellectual' with someone who is 'actually intelligent'.

[politicalmerc]

Maureen,

Go to your corner, click your heals together and chant, There's no President like Clinton, There's no President like Clinton. Who knows, you may just wake up happy. In the meantime you won't be writing drivel for the rest of us you old bat.

[Malleus Dei]

Let's see...stupid Maureen Loud is bashing everything Republican in print and she has the gall to complains that no one can dissent any more? Irony alert!!!

This woman is a total idiot. No wonder Michael Douglas dumped her.

[PMCarey]

The whole point of this column was contained in the first line. Maureen went to see "Pericles" - one of the more obscure Shakespeare plays - and she wants us to know how cultured she is. The rest of the column is just filler.
