The tortured logic of Mo Dowd
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ^ | Sunday, February 6, 2005 | Dimitri Vassilaros

Posted on 02/06/2005 11:24:15 AM PST by Willie Green

Maureen Dowd, the very cute but impossibly shrewish columnist for The New York Times, has a problem with sex.

Dowd is in a dither because female military interrogators used their feminine wiles on Muslim detainees at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp. Which is a great plan because terrorists tend to be so uptight about earthly women that they prefer the 72 virgins waiting for them in heaven.

Great plan, unless the suspects are gay.

Or unless our chicks look like Abu Ghraib prison guard Lyndie England.

In a recent column, Dowd wrote that, " ... female interrogators used a toxic combination of sex and religion to try to break Muslim detainees at the U.S. prison camp in Cuba. It's not merely disgusting. It's beyond belief."

Actually, it's like one of those letters that begins, "Dear Playboy, You are not going to believe this, but ... ."

Put a dress on her and she might look like a woman.

Possibly. Around closing time, after a lot of hard drinking, in a bar that forgot to pay the electric bill or buy candles.

I'm a US military officer, and I'd do one hell of a lot more to try to protect this nation than just demean myself.

"I wish I could catch her on TV. I would like to hear how bad she is."

I heard her on a panel after the election in November, one of those "why did we lose" type of things. In all seriousness, aside from a somewhat grating voice, she was inarticulate and had only banalities to offer. At one point she just basically said, "I don't know what to make of it."

Absolutely. I totally agree with MoDo. They should just beat the living daylights out of them and get on with it.

It just bothers me that it was female personnel, ya know? Women leave themselves open to some pretty awful treatment when that kind of thing gets out in the media and the court martials start up. Men don't have those types of problems. They are not called sluts and other things like that.

Now hold on. My middle daughter graduated from Randolph Macon Women's College and she is definitely not frumpy or ugly. She was a feminist; however, she has now seen the light and is a conservative Republican who has shown her liberal Democrat husband the light as well. :) She has made her mama proud!

With a better hair style and better make up and more stylish clothes she is indeed a very attractive lady. I thought she looked very lovely at the inaugural ball.

I know you guys just love KZJ, but isn't she a liberal dem. just like her husband? I take it that if a woman looks like her, you don't care what her politics are?

Ye Gods! Let me refer you to my psychiatrist. He has done wonders for me. :) I am now a happy person, floating around in my own little bubble, not bothering anyone, just enjoying the simple things in life.

Um, am I the only one who is going to reply to this one? I think they went a little far. The menstrual blood thing was too far.

You (and Mo) are assuming that the terrorist prisoner is telling the truth. That assumption may well be in error.

These guys seem to characteristically tell rather colorful, almost apocalyptic lies. Something to do with the florid and expressive Arab language, I suppose...
