DOONESBURY ON COULTER: Garry Trudeau takes aim at Ann Coulter and her book Treason in Sunday's Doonesbury strip, mocking her as a "fierce advocate of civil and reasoned discourse".
CHENEYWORLD: With her column last week, "Their Master's Voice", New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd continues to discuss Dick Cheney far more often than any other Lying in Ponds pundit:
Dick Cheney's dry Wyoming voice has the same effect on some male Republicans, starting at the very top, and even some journalists, that a high-pitched whistle has on a dog. How else to explain the vice president's success in creating a parallel universe inside the White House that is shaping the real universe?
With the ten negative references in that column, Ms. Dowd has mentioned the word "Cheney" 81 times in columns this year (no nickname yet). E.J. Dionne is next with only 31 Cheney references.
