"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

More Commentary on
the Iraqi Constitution


The blogger at Semi-random Ramblings notes that virtually no one’s taking note:

Jeez, you’d think their first freedom-enshrining Constitution would be getting more press (did they have this problem in 1776?)
