Don't really know how we missed this (yes we do — see "incompetent" below), but in yesterday's column Maureen Dowd gets a little promiscuous with semantics, indulging in two back-to-back metaphors in the same paragraph. This sort of two-timing just isn't fair — is John Bolton "Naomi Campbell" or is he "Old Yeller"? You can only pick one, MoDo, so which one do you like best? You should choose as soon as possible, before they both show up on your doorstep with flowers, find out about each other, and get their feelings hurt. —NH

The uncombed, untethered Mr. Bolton is fabulously operatic - the Naomi Campbell of the Bush administration, ready at a moment's notice to beat up on underlings. Who doesn't want to see Old Yeller chasing the Syrian ambassador down the hall, throwing a stapler at his head and biting at his ankles?
