    Dowd

    Dowd's book certainly struck a nerve. I don't quite know why. I think Traister is not being lazy when she looks at Amazon reviews. I have never seen a book get so many negative reviews, which makes me wonder if there is not a concerted attempt to bring Dowd down, yes, a conspiracy even. Dowd's column about Judith Miller leads right to speculations about White House goons. She was on Al Franken's show. She's liberal.

    Just saying.
