Great stuff on the NYT "my favorite opinions" Op-E

An entertainer that is entertaining: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/16/opinion/16david.html

The horses' mouth:
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/16/opinion/16wolfowitz.html

Wolfie seems to miss the point that the democratization of Indonesia was accomplished in a completely different manner than the current attempt in Iraq. The irony of his support for the Free Press in Indonesia while the US has shut down a number of news outlets in Iraq is also lost.

Dowd gets the paranoia right:

She also mentions http://www.bushsbrain.com, which I haven't checked out yet. Some of you won't agree that a mention in the NYT legitimizes a crank lefty website, hey, I thought it was sorta meta or something.

Funny, because after some thought, I think that "bush's brain" is fairly complementary of Rove, far more fetching than most press he gets.

Again the book was done by the Dallas Morning News and CNN....
