Posted by Botnst: The author confuses friendship with friendly acquaintenceship. Or she has shallow relationships with others and has never had true friends. True in the complete sense of the word. In either case, fidelity and courage are not her strongest attribute, for a friend.

Actually, I think it was Rummy who dumped her as a friend, after something negative she had written about the Iraq war. At least, that's the impression I got after reading the column in which she mentioned this. So all that bad stuff you said about her sense of friendship probably applies to the Rum Man. So I think it is that fidelity and courage are not HIS strongest attributes, for a friend.
