Dowd:

At the very same moment the father was pushing peace, the son was treating the war as a fait accompli. At the American Enterprise Institute, he finally coughed up the real reason for war: trickle-down democracy.

Ha! You know, Dowd may be incredibly irritating what with her, "I hate everything" approach to politic snipery (she is the political world's version of Joan Rivers, only much funnier), but that doesn't mean she isn't damn good at coming up with a clever turn of phrase. "trickle-down democracy" perfect.
