Just when you thought Thomas Friedman and Paul Krugman had permanently retired the New York Times’ Idiot of the Year award, along comes Maureen Dowd to say something so remarkably stupid that it puts even Friedman and Krugman to shame.
Some critics have said the ultimate victory for Osama and the 9/11 hijackers would be to allow a mosque to be built near ground zero.
Actually, the ultimate victory for Osama and the 9/11 hijackers is the moral timidity that would ban a mosque from that neighborhood.
No, Maureen, you’re wrong. Very wrong. Osama’s ultimate victory would be the subjugation of every Christian, every Jew, every Hindu, every non-Muslim. Falling short of that, his back-up goal would be to slice their throats.
The ultimate victory here at IHTM would be for Maureen Dowd to use a photo on her column that was taken in the last two decades.

Visit? I want them to go for good. That's where they think nirvana is right? There or Cuba or venezuela. I think all liberals and especially the celebrities will love thier new life in one of those places. Take your savior obama and his court, pelosi.frank, boxer, ried, franken etc. with you and live the great life.
Uhm... If people were to let this mosque be built without opposition he (Osama)would actually think we are idiots who deserve to be dominated, because we do not stand against anything even if it is obvious that the mosque is a symbol of the attempted muslim extremist or fundamentalist expansion into the US. Moral timidity? Darling it is not moral timidity that makes people say no the mosque, the people that say yes to the mosque ARE the ones under moral timidity and it is THOSE people my darling little girl that Osama wants to enslave. Make it easy for him and please go for a visit to Iran. All liberals should go to Iran as a matter of fact.
I've got more respect for a common crack whore than I do for dowd.
Dowd has to punish everyone because she did not go to an Ivy League school- like just about everybody at the times, even the guy that comes in and waters the plants. Dowd is especially bitchy in this piece -- maybe she forgot to get her monistat that day.
"Moral Timidity"? Ultimate victories for the president *and* the 9/11 hijackers? God, where do these demented zealots come from? Must be from under a rock covered with a poisonous fungus.
Oh, and her more recent picture shows her sideburns and beard more clearly, so the 20 year-old photo is the best choice .... hot my @$$.
mv
And actually she has it exactly backwards;
Actually, the ultimate victory for Osama and the 9/11 hijackers is the moral timidity that would ALLOW a mosque at Ground Zero.
I hope this IDIOT doesn't get paid too much to write her f-ing GARBAGE.
Remember what she said about Sen. McCain when asked about something he said? She said "“A man who lives in a box for five years can do whatever he wants,” she replied matter-of-factly, refering to being a POW. She's a skank. Funny, you can see from her publicity photos that she thinks she's hot, but like you say there aren't any newer that 20 years old and even those she looks like huffingtons twin sister, both skanks.
She's about three wrinkles and a crowsfoot away from being indistinguishable from that beauty Helen Thomas.
Wish I'd said that.
She works for the NY Times, I hope to God no one expects her to be sane.
The omniscient Maureen is never wrong. She knows the deepest inner thoughts of all humanity and understands all the mysteries of the universe.
I forget the name, but remember when a Congress-person said "you lie!" during one of Half-Cracker™ Obamas speeches? She did a full column about how she knew it was a racist slur because she KNEW that what the person actually meant was "you lie, BOY ". Shades of Jim Crow!! And only the infallible Maureen spotted it and proclaimed it to all the world. So of course she MUST be correct in this new assessment of the mosque situation.
Yeah, right ! :-(
Is she really that stupid or does she just play it for the public?
Just a living, breathing example of the effects of drinking too much Obama kool-aid. Classic symptoms include rigid and calcified thinking only within Party lines, gratuitous attacks against anyone with a contrary opinion - especially white males. In other words, terminal stupidity.
