She's got the irish gift for gab... and the Irish curse for fear of intimate commitment. I love her writing without regard to the content of her opinions.

She's now too embarrassed to ever write another word.
All her work has always been a projection of her deeply repressed conflicts and anxieties.

The place is "Bar Centrale" above "Orso" ristorante on west 46th street in the theatre district. The guy in the background pretending to wipe down the bar is Joe Allen, the owner of Joe Allen restaurants including Orso and Bar Centrale.
Bar Centrale is where the elite of Hollywood, Broadway theatre, media and publishing go to hang out and not be bothered by the riff-raff and common tourist.
Corruption is everywhere in this world. Iran, Russia, Ukraine, China, Romania....all are much more corrupt than Saudi, not to mention Haiti...central America countries and many Africa and Asia counties. If in her eyes Saudis are experts on emoluments, she doesn't know this world. If she doesn't know this world, she'd better stop talking about this world. Just go back to the world she is living in.

if we take the face value of her article.
Historically we had alliance with Stalin/USSR who is evil same as Hitler. Hitler killed millions Jew, Stalin killed millions Ukrainian. But the western still signed many contracts with USSR and sold a lot of machines in Starlin's first 5-year plan that is to industrilze USSR, even millions Ukrainian were dying at that time. Oh, did I mention we had we had alliance with Stalin during WWII?
Ok. The real point, I know, you know, Chris knows, is not this Irish woman's ignorance, it is her intellectual dishonesty.
Since we aided Stalin in the fight against Hitler seventy years ago, the Saudis should be able to butcher a journalist today. Stupid Maureen Dowd!
We only sell that shit to allies.
We allied and did bidness with Stalin where we had an interest in doing so only.
Same with these dickheads. It’s not in our interest to allow them to kill our journalists by luring them to their consulates. Should we let them kill our citizens also this brazenly? We bitch slap them and move on to deal with them where we have to, no more.
to Canada by taking the first step to sell weapons to them and causing U.S. military industry panic. Turkey and Egypt are more corrupt than Saudi, but we sell arms tot hem too. Don't argue like a child, please. I don't like go down to that level.

Turkey is also a NATO ally. Egypt is Saudi like ally of convenience which we should treat the same way.
I will bet my next paycheck the US will not be the country to sell them a plant.
It would be nice if US, France, and South Korea would just put total economic embargo against these scum, but in the end Russia and China will sell them what they want, unfortunately.
