He's got a lot on why critics of Bush are hypocrites, including a damning article written by major Bush critic Maureen Down 6 years ago, where she talks about how she's scared that Clinton and his staff aren't strong enough to stand up to Saddam and how her friends fear "imminent" attacks on US soil from Saddam. Now, of course, she talks about how Bush is a testosteron-filled monster (not a quote) who makes up threats of imminent attacks to scare Americans. Just another example of how much of the left and the media will make up anything, even go against their deep down convictions, in order to try to make Bush look bad. Shame on them!
Dowd, you should know, is semi-famous for being the source-material for the "Dowdification," a method in which members of the press use elipses to cut out words in quotes, completely changing the meaning of the quote without technically misquoting. For instance you could change, "Just thinking about eating it made me feel like a pig" to "Eating it made me... a pig." This obviously changes the meaning from feeling like a pig to actually being a pig. Watch for this sort of thing when you read articles quoting people. Any time you see an elipses (the three periods) in a quote, it's probably because someone wanted to change the meaning a bit without actually lying.
