Who Is Taking This Election the Hardest? (MoDowd "Looks Terrible... Aged Ten Years." MWAH-Ha-Haaa!)
The Kerry Spot ^ | 11/09/04 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 11/09/2004 6:41:26 AM PST by KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle

Instapundit reports that in a post-Election Day appearance, Maureen Dowd "looks absolutely terrible. It's like she's aged ten years since I last saw her. Her manner is subdued, and bitter, too. I guess that explains her post-election writing. It's striking to see a pundit taking the election so hard — most actual Democratic politicians seem to be maintaining more personal distance."

Well, really, who had more on the line in this campaign? A professional politician has ups and downs in his or her career; you win some races, and you lose some. But the press bet the house against Bush this year. Democrats may have recognized Kerry's faults and seen his vulnerabilities, but many members of the press were the "true believers" of this campaign.

The fun question will be whether members of the press learn from this experience and either A) are more open in acknowledging their liberal leanings and inability to comprehend life in the red states or B) realize they have gone too far and start trying to be more objective again. I think most folks on the right would be happy with either scenario - admitting their political leanings up front, or trying to give conservatives a fair shake. Just stop pretending to be fair or balanced while acting like the media wing of the DNC.

I agree with the bit about aging ten years. I saw Mo Dowd on TV before the election and then yesterday. I couldn't believe it was the same woman. Incredible. At this rate, she'll look like Helen Thomas in another year.

It wasn't Kerry, it would have been any demonrat that would have lost. Just like Hitlery will be rejected when she makes her run, I don't think that even the demonrats are dumb enough to put her up for a run anyway.

OH I think they're just delusional enough to run Hillary. You think they'll learn from their mistakes this cycle??

And it will be so much fun!

There is a third alternative. The MSM will continue to revel in their contempt for our ignorance and keep passing off their invented stories and opinions as news.

Be Wary!!!!

Some women just don't age well, ultimately.

It doesn't matter what the media does as their "influence" declines daily. A fact that must really grate on them.

However, these arrogant liberal heads will preach to the choir right up to the time they only have their relatives watching.

It's like she's aged ten years. . .

That puts her at about 75 then, right?
