‘Barbies for War!’ (Maureen Dowd visits Wasilla, AK. - Dripping with condescension)
New York Times ^ | 9/17/08 | Maureen Dowd

(snip)

I sautéed myself in Sarahville last week.

I wandered through the Wal-Mart, which seemed almost as large as Wasilla, a town that is a soulless strip mall without sidewalks set beside a soulful mountain and lake.

Wal-Mart has all the doodads that Sarah must need in her career as a sportsman — Remingtons and “torture tested” riflescopes, game bags for caribou, machines that imitate rabbits and young deer and coyotes to draw your quarry in so you can shoot it, and machines to squish cows into beef jerky.

I talked to a Wal-Mart mom, Betty Necas, 39, wearing sweatpants and tattoos on her wrists.

MoDo slumming it. Guess she was looking for Michael Douglas videos since the other ones she had must've wore out...

And, to correct this skank,

Carly Fiorina said that none of the candidates were qualified to be CEO of a company.

Interesting, isn't it, that MoDo focuses on Palin and neglects the original context of the Fiorina comment.

Lonely Mo is a real piece of work, the poor thing.

Betty Necas, who, unlike Mo, probably has functioning ovaries, has it right: Obama is “snotty and weasely”.

What an out of touch snide elitist snob Dowd is. I’ll bet she even thinks that most of the USA sides with her. How very wrong she is and how very out of touch with most Americans she is.

An urban cat lady reports from the hinterland, like an astronaut on Mars.

She finds life uncomfortable there, on account of it not being the too-warm city apartment she shares with 14 cats and the bitter memories of men who left her.

LOL, does the left have any clue how this reads across 90% of the Nation that is not Urban? These people have a death wish, I swear they do. This article ranks right up their with The “One’s” statement that small town folks “cling to their guns and religion”.

Reading her articles is becoming painful, because she seems so angry and bitter.

The condescension is unbelievable. She must have loved getting that quote from the “Wal-Mart mom”—I imagine Dowd seemed very sincere, talking to that woman as if she actually cared what she thought, while all along knowing she was going to make fun of her in the article.

Nothing to do with the fact that he’s black. He just seems snotty, and he looks weaselly.”

Pompous, arrogant and dumped for Katherine Zeta Jones is no way to go through life, Maureen.

“Mo” Dowd is now “Moose” Dowd.

And we all know what Sarah Palin can do to a moose.
