Second, yes, Ann Barnhardt goes at Cardinal Dolan with a meat cleaver, Here (Link) Scroll down about 1/6 of the way until you come to the words, "TO HELL ITH 'NICE'. TO HELL WITH IT."
I do not recommend Miss Barnhardt's attitude here. It's rash judgment, i.e. interpreting someone else's motivations at the absolute worst. This --- assessing someone's interior dispositions --- ios something we must not presume to do.
It certainly does look like Dolan had not, still has not, thought the requisite 4 chess moves ahead. Yikes, what a bad situation.
