With that in mind, here is an obligatory CZJ picture for any Dowd thread.

When he heard the Nobel Peace Prize shocker on Friday, Bill Clinton went into one of his purple rages. He picked up the phone and dialed the one person on earth who would be as steamed as he was.
CLINTON: Hey, man, it’s me. This thing is plumb crazy. Can you believe it?
W: No way, Jose!
CLINTON: First that prig Carter. Then that prig Gore. And now President Paris Hilton.
-SNIP-
CLINTON: Fine, but you never expected to win this prize. You were the quote-unquote war president and proud of it. I had to put up with a gazillion hours of Arafat’s insanity, but I guess that still wasn’t enough for those Oslo ice queens. I guess ending ethnic cleansing in Bosnia wasn’t enough, or bringing peace to Northern Ireland. And I guess my work with the Clinton Global Initiative saving lives in Africa and hanging with Bono and Barbra wasn’t enough.
-SNIP-
CLINTON: The only peace Obama has made is bringing together the Taliban, Rush Limbaugh, the Palestinians and the Israelis to agree the guy is undeserving. It just confirms everyone’s suspicion that all this dude knows how to do is dazzle.
W.: He doesn’t want to be a Decider. He wants to be a Transformer. He transformed, all right — from Miss America to Miss Universe. He’s a five-spiral crash, and getting the gold is just a reminder of all he hasn’t done. He’s going to have to look over and see that big medallion hanging up there in the Oval, mocking him as an empty suit, a pretty boy beloved by the Blame-America-First crowd, whenever he has to send more troops to Afghanistan, or the Taliban act up, or Iran fires up for nukes.

The amazing thing about this article is the comments section...this is the NYT, for Heaven's sake and the comments are NOT the usual Obama adoration.

OK. I’m waiting here. CZJ pix ,please.

The amazing thing about it to me is what bad, strained writing it is.
Maureen Dowd? Really? It appears more people are waking up every day to the fact that the Emperor has no clothes.
I love the “President Paris Hilton” line. And as that Townhall article elsewhere points out, the PP really puts the Zero in a vise. He now has to consider the meaning of the prize whenever he has to make a decision on the military or any foreign diplomacy issue. The Nobel committee has essentially paralyzed Obama in permanent campaign mode. Given his vanity, to take any action now beyond the usual appeasement would cause him to lose face.
Dowd obviously adores Clintoon much more than Obambi.

Oh, lawd, MoDo is actually very, very funny here! Thanks, Mo!
I disagree! For once I think MoDo has done a great job catching the satirical voice. For me, she pretty much nails the characters here, as well as the Zeitgeist. Perfectly humorous!
Hey, Clinton got things done—like a balanced budget. Obama has done zip. Bush I should have gotten the award so should have R. Reagan. But Obozo? Why couldn’t they have waited a bit and seen if he really got anything done. I believe he’s not going to be in office too much longer—corruption will force him to do a Nixon sooner or later.
I think the Chicago Thugocracy is the legacy of Bill Clinton’s desire for revenge on the United States for his being impeached. He is the one who brought Emanuel and many other Obama players to Washington and handed them the means to perform the coup that we are now seeing.
