Opposites

From Maureen Dowd:

This administration’s grand schemes always end up as the opposite. Officials say they’re promoting national security when they’re hurting it; they say they’re squelching terrorists when they’re breeding them; they say they’re bringing stability to Iraq when the country’s imploding. …

And the most dangerous opposite of all: W. was listening to a surrogate father he shouldn’t have been listening to [Cheney], and not listening to his real father, who deserved to be listened to.
