That MoDo MoJo: No Retreat, Baby, No Surrender

...a spine-tingling he-monster with the power to drag us back into the pre-Darwinian dark ages is slouching around Washington. It's a fire-breathing creature with the head of W., the body of Bill Frist and the serpent tail of Tom DeLay.

My God, but that's simply awful - please, Maureen, you're embarrassing yourself. It is our Islamic extremist enemies, not the Republicans, who are fighting for a return to the Dark Ages...unless you consider a democratic Middle East 'pre-Darwinian'.
