Thank you for your insight Mrs. Scalia. It seems to me that you are generous with Ms. Collins’ relentless incivility. When I first read Gail Collins’ essay back in November I came away with the impression that for Ms. Collins, such a proposed humiliating summary expulsion from office of the faithful Pres. Bush, would be for Ms. Collins a satisfying climax the long campaign vilification and character assassination of Pres. Bush in which the editors of the New York Times played a leading role. How can Ms. Collins not today concede the great liberating victory the Pres. Bush has achieved in Iraq at a human cost far less that of President Lincoln to whom he is unfavorably compared by Ms. Collins? How can she dare to hang “Katrine” around Pres. Bush’s neck? The myth of Katrina being fabricated out of the news reporting malpractice by the mainstream media, an falsification of public preception in which the New York Times played a leading role. Yet she did do so.
It seems to me that Ms. Collins would consign to Pres. Bush the end of all vilified scapegoats: expulsion from the land of the living into the wilderness “unto a Land not inhabited.”
