Reply #3: I regularly tell Kathleen Parker I told you so [View All]

I email her about once a month asking her why she hasn't written about Iraq since her gloating post-Statue-Day column entitled "Liberation tastes like crow to the antiwar crowd"

My latest referred to the passage below, and I asked her if she still has such a high regard of Rumsfeld's maturity in light of what we now know about his petty, counterproductive infighting with Rice and Powell:

It's also hard to be humble when you're right, but guess who is both? Guess who first cautioned against glibness, hubris, immodesty and arrogance? Those mean men Dowd can never bring herself to address as adults: her Bushy, Rummy and Wolfie. The lead players in this epochal drama have spoken with the restraint and authority of grown-ups undistracted by childish antics, either from the pacifist nursery or from exuberant Iraqis tasting freedom, in some cases for the first time. "Let them rant" or "Let them loot," as the case may be, is an attitude of tolerance born of higher sights.
