Maureen Dowd on Meet The Press.

On Meet the Press this morning the secondary guests after Karl Rove and Barack Obama were William Safire and Maureen Dowd, both New York Times columnists, who were on to discuss the election results.

Maureen Dowd had this to say about Dubya:

"Bush is not pandering to the religious right. He is the religious right."

This is a beautifully worded point. I think it speaks to his motivations and it's important for people to realize this in trying to understand him.

Also a snippet from her column this week:

"The president got re-elected by dividing the country along fault lines of fear, intolerance, ignorance, and religious rule. He doesn't want to heal rifts; he wants to bring any riffraff who disagrees to heel. W. ran a Jihad in America."

You're either with him or against him. Just ask France.
