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

A few things.
She is dead-on, about Bush being a member of the religious right. It seems like the Republican party has gone from a group of capitalists that tolerated the religious, because of their votes, to a group of Christians who tolerate the secular conservatives.
However, I take exception to her characterizing his administration as Jihad and when other people (e.g. Howard Stern calling them the American Taliban) do the same.
As far as the oft-misunderstood line "You're either with him or against him" goes, it does not mean that there is no difference between France and North Korea.
What it means is that nations like Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, etc. who do not directly kill Americans, but harbor terrorists who do, are considered enemies. Tolerating such groups within your borders is not being neutral; it's being an enabler.
