Replace 'Bush' and 'Cheney' with 'Clinton' and 'Gore', and the major media - led by the NYT - would be screaming: 'mean-spirited right wing hate-mongers attack popular President and VP'.

Dowd long ago crossed the line between sarcastic to vicious. It's silly to keep qualifying her in terms of Michael Douglas; this is not a petty swipe by a scorned woman. This is not even an argument about policy; this is a weekly personal attack.
