And Rich Makes Two...

Unless someone can show me a picture of the two of them in the same room, I'm convinced that Maureen Dowd and Frank Rich are one and the same...either that, or the New York Times is such an echo chamber that all its columnists move in lock-step. Hot on the heels of MoDo's 'theocracy' column, we have Frank Rich's column on 'the God racket'. Religion horrifies the Radical Left (and don't let their six figure salaries and $100 haircuts fool you - Dowd and Rich are charter members), and if nothing else, the Schiavo controversy has thrown a spotlight on their unwillingness to speak of religious issues using anything but the most extreme rhetoric. 'The God racket', 'theocracy'...is this what political dialogue in this country has descended to? Wouldn't it be refreshing if the Times employed columnists who actually cared about, let's say, making a coherent argument? You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one...
