So, let me explain. In the paper this morning there's an article about the changes between the Bush II administration and Obama's.

In one section, it starts to deal with Dick Cheney, mentioning some quite outrageous stuff about a senate comittee hearing that could have been written by Hans on a bad hair day. This quotes are lifted from an article by a NYT columnist, called Maureen Dowd (Article: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/29/opinion/29dowd.html?_r=1&scp=3&sq=vice%27s%20vices&st=cse), which I checked and made stuff seem even more outrageous.

So, my question. What's the deal with her? Is that serious or was she pulling the collective leg of the readers? Has the columnist in the paper I read fallen for a satyrical article as if he was a Chinese news source fooled by The Onion?

Maureen Dowd is a cunt. And unreadable.

I could perfectly picture some of her mock Cheney quotes being said by people here, so make of that what you will.  :lol:
