A terrific take on the hypocrisy of GOP leadership

While I don't reflexively agree with all that Maureen Dowd has to say, I enjoy her columns. At times, her humor rivals that of the late great Molly Ivens. An expert observor of the peculiar world of the Bush family and it's many retainers, she has lately aimed her wit at 43's dark alter ego, Dick Cheney (by the way, if Cheney had come of age in a populous state like Rhode Island, would he ever have achieved prominence in American politics?).

Cheney and his aid Scooter Libby are the great Americans who outed a CIA agent in an act of political revenge. And for this act of treason Cheney was allowed to skate away into lucrative retirement.
