MUDFIGHT!
Wednesday, July 8, 2009 at 06:07PM ;)
I just read Maureen Dowd's recent column in that once great, and once widely read paper, The New York TImes...the older set might remember this paper? In any case...
Her column is titled: "The Secret Diary of Sarah Palin" and I suspect that Dowd meant it to be scathing commentary on her rival, Sarah Palin. But, it reads - nay, shouts - Maureen Dowd is jealous! A New York sophisticate like Maureen Dowd jealous of a hillbilly Alaskan! How rich is that?
Pretending to write Palin's diary, Dowd writes:
You didn’t really think I was going anywhere, did you? I’m one of Google’s hot trends. We’re doing a fund-raising push this week on SarahPAC to destroy Obama’s attempt to destroy capitalism. And forget about Obama’s youth revolution. I posed for a cheesecake shot in Runner’s World with short-shorts and a crumpled American flag that’s destined to be on the bedroom wall of every conservative 12-year-old boy. It’s the metaphor, stupid! Heck yeah, I’m running! As I learned when I was a beauty contestant — flags and gams show you it’s about country.
A woman, I recognize female jealousy when I see it. As a teenage boy in LA might say: "Mudfight!"

her nasty article on Sunday was even more catty

she is the typical liberal shrew
Dowd seems like just another lefty journalist who detests Palin and everything she stands for. Of course the female bitchiness is there as well!!!
Aw shucks! Is the nasty liberal columnist having a go at the Rightworld heroine who has quit her job suddenly without bothering to explain to her voters?
Scandalous.
I was right. Patty has a crush on the Alaskan bombshell and will scratch the eyes out of anyone who dares diss the glorious Sarah :)
Muareen Dowd is actually from Washington DC and based there, not someone we New Yorker's can claim for our own, but don't let facts get in your way Patricia.
Palin has almost placed herself beyond parody and satire with her wacky ways, but Dowd got in a few good shots. I liked the cheesecake line, which of course went over the head of some.
mahons,
You really are one sad little lad! - and such a bigot! - and I bet you like to think of yourself as a 'gentleman'.
What has Palin ever done to you, to inspire such 'oh! so superior liberal criticism", - at least she isn't going to cost you your standard of living and quality of life, as you have known it so far.
Keep your powder dry, and save it for those that deserve it - like Obama, some months 'down the road'.
I burst out laughing reading MoDo's column today. When she's at her best, no one wields the pen of sarcasm like her. Bully for her.
She's not one of these righty or lefty columnists that only attack one side. No no no.
She wrote a bunch of nasty columns about the Clintons back in the day, and she drove Hillary nuts. Hillary called Dowd :" that short Irish bitch ", and God I just loved that, as did, Not as much, I am sure, as did Maureen Dowd.
You don't want Maureen Dowd writing columns about you.
Ernest: I am just glad the nursing home still lets you use the computer, or as you might say "the electric typing light box."
saying Dowd is not a lefty makes me want to question what your smoking Phantom
Mahons,
Oh Mahons, your are so witty! - how many more times are you going to trot that one out? At least I may make it to the nursing home, somewhow I doubt that you will...you really are a fool!
Ernest - As many times as necessary, but of course each time should seem fresh to senile grumps such as yourself.
Easy, mahons, your 03:58AM was not good manners and, worse, not good humour.
Troll
I'm just saying that she attacks all of them. She's not an Olbermann type. She was the scourge of the Clintons.
Ernest: Ignore the "you're old" bait that Mahons is tangling, desperate for a bite.
Mahons must be agitated because he loves the NYT - and Maureen Dowd - but he is incapable of reasonably defending either; they are indefensible. So, he turns to his beloved ad hominem dictionary looking to hurt you because you dared disagree with his affection for the sophisticate's "cheesecake" line...waste of time.
Noel - Actually I felt my response was fairly tame for be called a bigot, and a sad little lad (I am a happy mid-sized lad).
Patty - See above.
