For the record:
Tom Friedman's Thursday column on Iraqi elections was pretty much on the mark. We need to do this, and we need to remember that those pushing for postponement or for not having elections at all are hardly advocates fairness and justice; rather, they're the guys who denied the Iraqi people self-rule for 30 years under Saddam's regime.
More disturbing, Dowd's column wasn't half bad. The subject was, to paraphrase, women looking for men of equal stature with whom they could talk while men look for women of lower stature who will take care of them rather than making them stay at the same level they spend all day at at the office. Interesting column. Just one problem: When talking about women struggling with the new challenges life brings, take a pass on dropping names (in this case, Carrie Fisher's) and stick to the subject. The celeb anecdote ruined an otherwise interesting column and reminded that however far she's come, Dowd got her start writing about Nancy Reagan's dresses.
