« Orthopedist: Hancock column refuted by data | Main | Bill would tighten rules on electricity deals »

Maureen, don't you have French fact checkers?

If Maureen Dowd is going to use French in her column on Rumsfeld, you would think she could consult with somebody who knows the language, or at least Google the Edith Piaf song.

As part of his “Je ne regret rien pas” book tour, the 78-year-old former defense secretary stopped by the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, where he got the group’s annual “Defender of the Constitution” award.

Or is there some kind of double-negative, Rummy-mangling-the-language joke, or a Rummy-dissing-Old-Europe joke, that I'm not getting here?

UPDATE: The Iconoclast agrees.

No, it's just Maureen Dowd being the spiteful, bitchy person she always is.

Gunpower there is no need toi be so uncivil online re "No, it's just Maureen Dowd being the spiteful, bitchy person she always is."

Maureen is not a bitch or spiteful and your using words like that in that way HERE is what is brining down the internet and online civility. Sure, you can dislike her columns but don't use language like that. It's does not become you or America. STOP please. Just don't read her or read her and criticize her writing but not her person and not the B word. Come on.
