MoDo is back
Maureen Dowd is writing in the NYT again and it is pleasing to our eyes. She touches a number of issues, but Cindy Sheehan is foremost. And she gets right to the heart of the problem.
And when you are done, call or write your congressmoop and ask him or her to support Cindy Sheehan.
It's amazing that the White House does not have the elementary shrewdness to have Mr. Bush simply walk down the driveway and hear the woman out, or invite her in for a cup of tea. But W., who has spent nearly 20 percent of his presidency at his ranch, is burrowed into his five-week vacation and two-hour daily workouts. He may be in great shape, but Iraq sure isn't.Read it all.
It's hard to think of another president who lived in such meta-insulation. His rigidly controlled environment allows no chance encounters with anyone who disagrees. He never has to defend himself to anyone, and that is cognitively injurious. He's a populist who never meets people - an ordinary guy who clears brush, and brush is the only thing he talks to. Mr. Bush hails Texas as a place where he can return to his roots. But is he mixing it up there with anyone besides Vulcans, Pioneers and Rangers?
And when you are done, call or write your congressmoop and ask him or her to support Cindy Sheehan.
