Maureen Dowd was on The Daily Show the other day. She was pitching her new book, Bushworld<\/a>, a collection of her columns from the NYT Op\/Ed page. I admire her writing for its dry sarcasm directed at Bush and his administration, which is all the more effective because underlying it is a sense of deep disappointment in the direction our nation is heading.

She reminds me of a reserved English professor who, if you got a couple glasses of chardonnay in her, would fling her glasses off and tango the night away with you.
\nWho knew that volunteering for a campaign could be so much work? I didn’t get home until nearly 9 last night because I was at campaign headquarters for meetings and tonight I’ll be at a campaign event.
