The Last Debate (Dowd does it again - put away your coffee and save your keyboard)
New York Times ^ | 5/21/08 | Maureen Dowd

Posted on 05/21/2008 7:08:26 AM PDT by redstates4ever

“What do you want? Please, Sweetie, would you just tell me what you want?”

“Don’t Sweetie me, Twiggy. You know what I want.”

“Besides that, Hillary. Seriously, you don’t want your delusion to put John McCain in the White House. Or maybe you do. You have no shot. I’m 60 delegates away from nomination nirvana. You should stop stalking me. I come down to Florida for a victory lap and you follow me down here and call for a recount. Look what that did for Al Gore. If you show a shred of common sense and take a powder now, the party will put you on a pedestal.”

“Pedestals are for losers. You’re on a pedestal. I’ve never been a loser. I refuse to lose. I won the West Virginia and Kentucky derbies, and I’m not going to end up like Eight Belles.”

Coming from Dowd, of all people: now, THAT'S a genuine profile in hypocrisy! ;)

Funny you should say that. On Morford threads I usually post “Dowd With A Penis PING”

I have no idea why that old cat lady is paid to write columns for a living.

Absolutely unreadable and dumb.

She should be a greeter at WalMart.

She’s wearing shoes?

Yeah, probably, but why would I want to take the time to verify that?

I doubt Wal-Mart greeter pays a six-figure salary, with outstanding benefits, though. She needs to be where the $$$ is and it's not a Wal-Mart greeter. LOL.

Maureen Dowd is such a sorry woman. Although she has somewhat of a clue about politics, she’s still an elite priss with no concept of everyday America.

One clue is how much Dowd adores Obama yo mama. Obama. Heh. An empty suit but the cocktail crowd loves him. He gonna bring us CHANGE. He gonna bring us HOPE. He gonna bring us.....MICHELLE!

so okay, there’s a downside to everything.

It’s time for Hillary to consider her out. I know the witch got blindsided what with the ascent of the holy Obama yo mama and the turn of so many of her supporters against her. It has to be tough to be bitch-slapped so publicly like she was. And I for one don’t think she has a chance in 2012, assuming Obama does not got elected, which I don’t think he will.

Come 2012, the Clintons will be a tarnished page in the history books. Obama probably won’t get another nod as I think he’s going to go down in humiliating flames once us average morons get our chance to vote. Obama, and the lovely, gracious, adorable Michelle, no more represent this country than my dog.

There’s other, more palatable Democrats than the Clintons and the Obamas in this country and they have ambition. And they will know that being angry and snotty and nasty ass, not to mention having baggage like the Clintons carry around, is NOT the way to getting elected.

Of course Dowd will vote for Obama yo mama, the messiah of us all.

Pathetic.

She doesn’t like Hillary and I don’t believe she’s sold on Obama either.

Hard to say what she really wants but I suppose if she knew that then she wouldn’t be single any longer.

There were some funny lines...”The senate is a great place...I enjoyed my two months there.” And John Edwards, the Secretary of hair dressing.

I think there was as much negative stuff about Barry as you will find in the The Slimes. Maureen does not particularly like Barry. She is prejudiced. She gave it away in a column a few months back. She made a passing remark about Barry’s smoking habit, and it would be my guess when it comes to the anti-smoking Nazis, Dowd is a very high ranking officer.

Obviously Dowd has not drunk ALL the koolaid.
She knocked this one out of the park... IMO.

Yes... Republicans are sick of our party, but
we’re not going to vote for Dems. If McCain
doesn’t come to Jesus soon, some of us will
vote for a third party candidate.
