It’s the Loyalty, Stupid (Dowd Alert)
New York Times Op-Ed ^ | 8/12/14 | Maureen Dowd

Posted on 08/13/2014 4:33:36 AM PDT by Haiku Guy

I talked to Robin Williams once, about breasts.

(snip)

Williams delightedly riffed on the caricature, playing the role of an older Irish woman answering the sex line in a brusque brogue, ordering a horny caller to go to the devil with his impure thoughts and disgusting desire.

(snip)

Hillary Clinton was one of the 29 Democratic senators who voted to authorize that baloney war (Iraq).

(snip)

Channeling her pal John McCain, she took a cheap shot at President Obama when his approval rating on foreign policy had dropped to 36 percent, calling him a wimp just as he was preparing to order airstrikes against ISIS.

As one Democrat noted, citing the callous Clintonian principle that unpopular things make foolish investments: “If Obama was at 63 instead of 36, she’d be happy to be Robin to his Batman.”

(snip)

Hillary may know that she seemed unseemly. She called Obama to assert that she wasn’t attacking him, trying to avoid an awkward encounter when they both attend a Vernon Jordan party Wednesday night at the Martha’s Vineyard golf course where the president has been relaxing while the world explodes.

How they relate to each other is anybody's guess. Reading the whole thing does not help to answer that question.

Don't worry.

When Dems trot out Hillary on their ticket, Dowd will write enthusiastically How GREAT Bill was and is going to be for the greater good of the nation.

More a fickle brainless woman, you would be hard pressed to find. Just like her readers, feel good visuals trump everything.

Dowd wants to be worshipful of the Lightbringer, but then slips in some truth: at the Martha’s Vineyard golf course where the president has been relaxing while the world explodes.

I think the two gloves thing is kind of silly, but Catherine Zeta Jones makes it look good!

Dowd’s column about two weeks ago consisted of twenty paragraphs of psychobabble about GHWB and GWB’s relationship, followed by two final paragraphs accusing Obama of being disengaged. Now that Dowd’s columns have become downright incoherent, I do not understand why the Times doesn't give her the boot.

Nattering nabob of negativism, the Times pays her pretty good for these deep thoughts. It’s just the normal everyday lib rant that goes nowhere, background noise, but it must make them feel good to read it.

“It was obvious in real time that the Bush crew was arbitrarily switching countries, blaming 9/11 on Saddam so they’d get more vivid vengeance targets and a chance to shake up the Middle East chessboard, and that officials were shamelessly making up the threat as they went along.”

Same old leftist lie. The Bush admin NEVER blamed 9/11 on Irag.

It was not too long ago that the New York Times was pretty serious about the newspaper business.

LOL...She could put two more on her feet and she would still look good. Even though she might give you throat cancer.
