Maureen Dowd: Pass the Caribou Stew (Snarky Harpy Alert)
The New York Times ^ | December 7, 2010 | Maureen Dowd

Posted on 12/07/2010 7:32:39 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

The doomed caribou gazed calmly across the Alaska tundra at Caribou Barbie.

The female caribou could easily have escaped, since it took the Wasilla huntress six shots, two rifles and some help from her dad to bag her prey. (Giving credence to Levi Johnston’s contention that she isn’t all that proficient with guns.)

But, inexplicably, the caribou just waited to get gunned down by Sarah Palin, who came across less like a pioneer woman than Private Benjamin with her camo, her French manicured nails, her cap that says (in pink) “Girls with guns,” her 72-year-old father and her TLC reality show crew.

Sarah checked her freezer at home before she flew 600 miles to the Arctic, trying to justify her contention that she needs to hunt to eat. Wasn’t it already stocked with those halibuts she clubbed and gutted in an earlier show?

“My dad has taught me that if you want to have wild, organic, healthy food,” she pontificated, “you’re gonna go out there and hunt yourself and fish yourself and you’re gonna fill up your freezer.”

Does Palin really think the average housewife in Ohio who can’t pay her bills is going to load up on ammo, board two different planes, camp out for two nights with a film crew and shoot a caribou so she can feed her family organic food?

It’s amazing that Palin patronized Neiman Marcus during the campaign. Couldn’t she have spun cloth to sew her own clothes?

Hunting seems more sporting with birds — at least they have a better chance to get away. Unless the hunter is Dick Cheney, who would shoot pheasants that were pen-raised and released from a net to make slaughtering them easier.....

Yes, we know it's hard to get old and unattractive, Maureen. Doesn't mean you have to be catty towards successful women who happen to look good...

If anyone cared what Dowd thought, the NYT would still be selling papers.

So says someone who has never hunted anything more than a bargain on shoes.

This isn’t the least bit funny or witty.

Just bitter venting.

If she keeps this style up, even her base won’t want to read her crap any more.

Interesting fact: Dowd’s biggest audience are canaries and parrots.

I feel obliged to remind everyone that it’s not necessary to post a picture of either of these nasty hags. :-)

THere is nothing worst than an old lonely bitch whose girlfriend has left her for a younger woman.

Now, about Dowd.

Unless Dudd is a vegetarian (or vagitarian), she probably eats some kind of meat. My guess would be tube steak.
In which case, she pays others to do her killing for her.

Hypocrite!!!

I sense a lot of jealousy coming from MoDo. Dowd knows she has reached the pinnacle of her existence and will never, for all her days, advance beyond her status as a columnist for the Slimes. Her accomplishments will never reach those of Sarah Palin.

And she knows it.

Ms. Dowd obviously doesn't see much of a difference between a pheasant and a quail. She obviously never saw any of them, in the field or on the kitchen table. Perhaps she is not the most competent person to offer an opinion on hunting?

And copyeditors.

This lying piece of dung is crazy. The rifle that Sarah had was inaccurate as they tested the gun upon return to their site. Sarah was handed he grandfathers gun and one shot did it. What the hell is the matter with these idiots.
