Media Deathmatch: Maureen Dowd vs. Judy Miller

Judy Miller (columnist, New York Times) made headlines as the center of the CIA leak investigation that is now in the process of destroying the Bush administration (she spent 85 days in jail in order to protect her White House source, citing she was protecting the first ammendment). Recently, Miller's source ("Scooter" Libby, Chief of Staff to the Vice President) "released" her from her promise to keep his identity a secret. However, her role as self-proclaimed "martyr" has come under fire as it becomes more and more apparent that the White House had her in their back pocket, and used her to help justify the "Weapons of Mass Destruction" justification of the Iraq war.

Maureen Dowd, fellow New York Times columnist is through with Judy's shit.

She never knew when to quit. That was her talent and her flaw. Sorely in need of a tight editorial leash, she was kept on no leash at all, and that has hurt this paper and its trust with readers. She more than earned her sobriquet "Miss Run Amok."

And she makes a great point.. Judy claims her sources were wrong about the WMD's...

Judy admitted in the story that she "got it totally wrong" about WMD "If your sources are wrong," she said, "you are wrong." But investigative reporting is not stenography.

SHA-ZAM! Even Judy's co-workers are turning against her. Maybe this bitch will finally get whats coming to her.

And, we've gotta confess... Maureen kinda lights our fire. Yanno, if we were into that sort of thing.
