Once again, Maureen Dowd is allowed to pretend she's omniscient in the pages of the New York Times (faux mind-reading in italics):
When Hillary admitted that she had not read the National Intelligence Estimate before voting to authorize the president to go to war, Senator Obama had a clear shot. The woman who always does her homework did not bother to do her homework on the most important vote of her Senate career because her political viability was more important than the president’s duplicity: She felt that, as a woman, she could not cast a flower-child vote if she wanted to run for president. At this fateful moment, she was thinking more of herself than her country. As someone who has been known to tailor the truth to accommodate her ambition, she looked away while W. was doing the same.
Maybe the Times should modify Dowd's official picture to include a crystal ball and swami hat.
I bet that Dowd is spot on, however. As another indication of placing politics above principles is H. Clinton's anti-flag burning bill?
