The Dish Does Dowd

Sullivan pretty much pastes Maureen Dowd today and, boy is it a doozy. Check it out because Sullivan makes Dowd's critiques hypocritical in light of what she's saying today. Sullivan provides his take on Dowd's concern for Saddam's "imminent danger" six years ago during the Clinton administration:

Yes, imminent! Bush may never have said it. Rummy may never have believed it. But Ms Dowd wrote it six years ago - and now blames the Bushies for allegedly agreeing with her.

The political atmosphere in America is going to get us ALL killed. Why must politics and political commentary be a game of "oppose whoever is in power to the detriment of every American"? I'm not asking for the wholesale rubberstamping of any and all policies from the current party in the Oval Office. I am asking, where is the ability to compromise and put aside differences for the good of all? It's no longer about the good of Americans so much as it is about Campaign 2004 and Campaign 2008.
