Now I know what I've been missing.
Maureen Dowd observes today("Rudy roughs up the Arabs") that candidate Rudy Giuliani is pro-Israel. And she makes it sound like that's a bad thing.
Rudy would probably only take the hand of an Arab leader to throw him down a ravine, or a wadi.
It's really hard to knock the column because she's correct. Rudy, at least on the face of it, is a pro-Israel candidate. Leave out verbs like "rant" and "preened" and I'd read the column as an endorsement.

Posted by: chsw at October 17, 2007 11:15 AMHere is what I would say about the column.
In her latest column, now that the NY Slimes has torn down the firewall to let us "peasants" read their columns, Maureen Dowd endorses Rudy Giuliani for president. She points out that he is the
most honest politician about what goes on in the Middle East and refuses to accept bribes to support terrorists
What??? You mean that she thought that she was insulting Rudy?
I am shocked, SHOCKED I say !!!
"Rudy would probably only take the hand of an Arab leader to throw him down a ravine, or a wadi".
