"Heck of a job, Barry"

You would think that the mockery of our President and his unenthusiastic reaction to a terrorist on US soil, came from a Republican.

You would think that the person making statements like the following is far right wing radical:

Instead of modernity, we have airports where security is so retro that taking away pillows and blankies and bathroom breaks counts as a great leap forward.

If we can’t catch a Nigerian with a powerful explosive powder in his oddly feminine-looking underpants and a syringe full of acid, a man whose own father had alerted the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, a traveler whose ticket was paid for in cash and who didn’t check bags, whose visa renewal had been denied by the British, who had studied Arabic in Al Qaeda sanctuary Yemen, whose name was on a counterterrorism watch list, who can we catch?

You may be as shocked as I was when reading this op-ed. A liberal's liberal wrote this. Maureen Dowd.
