One step over the party line.

When Maureen Dowd is angry enough to be semi serious she is very very good.

However what struck me most in her op ed is a quote of "Colin Powell's chief of staff, Larry Wilkerson, tells GQ magazine that Wolfie is "a utopian" like Lenin: "You're never going to bring utopia, and you're going to hurt a lot of people in the process of trying to do it.""

Remember when the Bush administration was famously disciplined and "on message". Now the chief of staff of the secretary of defence is so far from willing to follow the party line that he is comparing Wolfowitz to Lenin. What ever happened to [Republican] democratic centralism.
