MAUREEN DOWD: Nuking the White House

The New York Times ^ | November 20, 2010 | Maureen Dowd

[Popman]

I love it when clueless people can use the words NUKING THE WHITE HOUSE in a public medium, and somehow not have the SS appear at their door.

I was thinking the same thing. Several FReepers have had a friendly knock on the door from the SS for far less

[ColdOne]

I read an article in Time today that stated that 1 in 5 people in the United States suffer from mental illness. That would explain Maureen Dowd. BWAHAHAHA!

[AZLiberty]

Maureen, you forget to tell us what’s so great about this treaty. Surely you don’t think foreign policy is all about politics and personality. /sarc

[Hildy]

When on Earth was this picture taken? It really doesn’t look like CZJ. Must have been very young.

[ColdOne]

and our standing in the world. Guess what Maureen? WE DO NOT CARE WHAT THE WORLD THINKS! Most of them now think your guy is a joke.

[bigbob]

I only came here for the pictures...

[Cheerio]

They’re trying to elevate Obama to Reagan, when Reagan dealt with the Soviet Union.

Now that is hillarious. Not even CLOSE.

man who won the Nobel Peace Prize on layaway

Mo Dud doesn't realize the real depth of meaning in that phrase

[Will88]

John Bolton opposes Obama's START treaty. And he comments on something I'd often thought about:

Moreover, on the other end of the threat spectrum, China is systematically expanding its nuclear-warhead and delivery capabilities, totally unconstrained by treaty limits.

Russia is still there, but Russia is not the greatest future threat and we should not be making any treaty with Russia that limits our ability to develop whatever arms we need in general. Beyond dumb to even consider it.

New Start Is Unilateral Disarmament

Besides, a man who won the Nobel Peace Prize on layaway....

I don't care who you are...that's a great line, and sooooo true too.

"a man who won the Nobel Peace Prize on layaway."

LOL! Maybe she has some writing talent after all, even if she can't tell up from down.

[ColdOne]

Besides, a man who won the Nobel Peace Prize on layaway.... I don't care who you are...that's a great line, and sooooo true too. What does she mean by that?

[meyer]

Maureen’s ticked because a liberal skank isn’t winning.

[ColdOne]

One last thing.... this little gem...Nuclear arms control, Wolffe writes, was one of Obama’s first interests as a student at Columbia University. And his head is still in those wonky clouds. This is the first I have heard of this interest "the one" had. anyone else?

“I love it when clueless people write about things they know nothing about”

MoDo takes a day off from bashing Sarah and pretends to be a big girl...

[Citizen Soldier]

I always refer to her as Spinster Dowd.

[Ready4Freddy]

Yeah, I thought so too.

[Ben Ficklin]

"anyone else?"

There are lots of stories on the internet about Brzezinski being Obama's foreign policy mentor while at Columbia

[GladesGuru]

The “stans” are Muslin, therefore crazy by definition. Not that their history says anything nice about them either.

This is a beaut - “Besides, a man who won the Nobel Peace Prize on layaway doesn’t want to be responsible for any loose Russian nukes ending up in the crazy ’Stans.

As if anything Obama can do will prevent such an occurrence if Putin wants it to happen. Or a host of other players, alas.
