One reason I read Maureen Dowd is because of how sweetly she swats with
words. Here is a sample from her NYT column this morning regarding the
nonsense about the Kerry goose hunt:
W. and Dick Cheney like being seen as a huge beast throwing its weight
around. That was the whole point of whacking Saddam. The pair immediately
began their Beavis-and-Butthead snickering and sneering at the Democrat's
camouflage costume.
The vice president is right that Mr. Kerry can't compete in the arena of
power hunting. When Mr. Kerry goes, only the birds are in danger. When Mr.
Cheney and his pal Antonin Scalia go duck hunting together, the
Constitution is in danger.
