Um ok, you're a dumbass, lady
Why is it that I'm starting to see more ridiculous articles and opeds in formerly respectable publications? I haven't written the post yet, but I'm going to respond to an article written in Time magazine published yesterday ... I woke up and the first thing I read was this op-ed from the NYTimes.
It is the worst oped I've ever read. It poses no real question, poses no real thoughts or opinions; it simply rehashes a bunch of facts that everyone already knows (nobody in the Bush Adminstration was "down" with the hippies, the US trusts its military, etc.).
Forgive me, but I personally think anytime I read an oped in the NYTimes, I should be able to say , "That person gave a lot of good insights," regardless of their viewpoints. But this one just sucks ass. I read the whole thing and then said to myself, "did she actually want to say something?"
Maybe her point was, "The president and his posse diverted anger over 9/11 to Iraq, and now they are diverting it to Iran." I'm not really sure. Cause it might also be, "They [Bushies] should lose their bewildering and unconvincing color code, because orange doesn't communicate anything to anybody any more."
Learn to convey an opinion clearly, Ms. Dowd. It seems someone is a bit nostalgic about the counterculture of the '60s and wants it to come back at the cost of Bush and company.
