Short diary here. Maureen Dowd's Saturday column in the NYTs is, for me, a hit or miss affair. Today, she phoned it in. With Donald Trump making all the trash news ... for some reason she interviewed him.
It seems the 'Trump' has and opinion on everybody from Paris Hilton to Monica Lewinsky. Nice going Donald, you've only overstated the fact that like assholes everybody has one.
But he does a good job on Bush when Maureen asks,"How about those other international party girls, the Bush twins?"
"When you’re a president who has destroyed the lives of probably a million people, our soldiers and Iraqis who are maimed and killed — you see children going into school in Baghdad with no arms and legs — I don’t think Bush’s kids should be having lots of fun in Argentina," he says.
Trump goes on to say:
"No matter how long we stay in Iraq, no matter how many soldiers we send, the day we leave, the meanest, most vicious, most brilliant man in the country, a man who makes Saddam Hussein look like a baby, will take over and spit on the American flag," he says. "Bush will go down as the worst and by far the dumbest president in history."
I'm sure somehow the "Don" has some Haliburton stock somewhere but it was a nice sound bite for Maureen.
